Description
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/databases/#id8 says:
At the time of writing, the latest release of MySQLdb (1.2.4) doesn’t support Python 3. In order to use MySQLdb under Python 3, you’ll have to install an unofficial fork, such as MySQL-for-Python-3.
This port is still in alpha. In particular, it doesn’t support binary data, making it impossible to use django.db.models.BinaryField.
MySQL-for-Python-3 has not maintained for long time.
I've forked MySQLdb and support Python 3. It support binary.
Could you try mysqlclient and promote it instead of MySQL-for-Python-3?

Closing for now, pending mailing list discussion.

I think we are more likely to recommend/switch to Oracle's MySQL Connector backend (#12500), but the situation probably needs discussion on the django-developers mailing list.
