I am working with MySQL DB and SQLAlchemy ORM where I am getting an Import Error as

ImportError: libmysqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to install libmysqlclient but found out its only for ubuntu.
Hence I tried to install its RHEL alternative mysql-devel but it was already installed. Please help me solve this bug as I am stuck not knowing what to do.
