MySQL, Docker and Python/Django

I have a MySQL server running on my local Mac and I can connect to this database using Python3 and Django. I am quite happy with how this works.

However, I would like to be able to connect to this database using Django from within a Docker container and I cannot get this to work because I cannot install mysqlclient within the Dockerfile correctly. I have also tried to use python mysql connector, but I cannot get this to work properly either.

Could someone please help with this.

I have added a basic project to GitHub to help demonstrate the type of problems that I am having and I would really appreciate some help. This github repository should show the Dockerfile that I am currently using:

Many thanks
