Download you version from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysql-python . Then just run "pip install mysqlclient-1.3.12-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl"

After spending a half day to search for a solution. I closed the VSCode. Started Anaconda terminal. Change directory an active environtment

(myflaskappevn):

In my case:

(myflaskappevn) D:\myflaskapp>Code .

When VSCode open, from terminal:

pip install flask_mysqldb

It worked. So I installed the following

pip install flask_mysqldb
pip install flask_mysql db

Worked fine as well but it is not needed.

pip install Flask_WTF
pip install passlib
pip install mysql-connector-python
pip install mysql-connector

I hope that would help someone out there.
