I've looked at you error log, I can't see any pipenv command executed.
All I can see is pip install mysql-python and a failure.
By the look of that, you're not using pipenv at all here.

In any case, I did a quick search, this should fix your issue:

I hope this helps!

Closing as this isn't a Pipenv related issue.
