As per PEP 8 standard ConfigParser has been renamed to lower case as configparser in Python 3 and package you are trying to install is not updated yet or may be does not support it.

try using following command:

pip install mysqlclient

check if mysql-connector-c is installed on your system if not use following command:

brew install mysql-connector-c

working solution for question:

1) brew unlink mysql-connector-c 
2) brew install mysql 
3) brew link mysql-connector-c 
4) sudo pip install mysqlclient
