new Django website with old mysql database

Hello,

I got some problems to join my mysql database to django.

I install mysqlclient and I configure :

#settings.py

->

DATABASES = {

    'default': {

        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',

        'OPTIONS': {

            'read_default_file': '/path/my.cnf',

}

    }

}

#my.cnf

->

[client]

database = ddb_event

user = root

password = ****

default-character-set = utf8

but when I run : python manage.py migrate

I got 

C:\Django\venv\mysite>python manage.py migrate

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\mysql\base.py", line 15, in <module>

    import MySQLdb as Database

    import _mysql

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
