La razón es falta de dependencias, tenemos que instalar el mysql-server y lo más importante para solucionar el error es instalar el paquete libmysqlclient-dev
Lo instalamos con apt:
apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
También para evitar otros errores con pip necesitamos instalar el paquete de desarrollo de python:
apt-get install python-dev
Luego de eso ya podemos instalar mysql-python:
