First of all, ​I've sent pull request to MySQL-python. It wasn't merged for
a long time while
I needed it. So I've forked.

​After that, Django ​supports Python 3 officially.
So we've discussed about which driver Django recommend for Python:
mysql-connector/Python,
PyMySQL and mysqlclient.

While the discussion, it was reported on Debian.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=768096

It's experimental package for now.
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/python3-mysqldb
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/p/python-mysqldb/python-mysqldb_1.3.4-1_changelog

I don't know about RHEL. As far as I googling, they are using original.
