Guessing here, but it looks like you installed the Python v2, and then try to install for Python v3 right after.
Maybe it's good to run setup.py clean or remove the build/ directory.

I had to go into the site-packages directory and manually delete the mysql directory before I could complete the install without errors.

Thank you very much for your help.
