I had the same error in linux (debian 9) and could solve it by installing
mysql_configover the package manager withsudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev(this is the mariadb drop-in replacement for mysql_config).This might solve you problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25459386/mac-os-x-environmenterror-mysql-config-not-found (I cannot judge if this is the proper way to install mysql_config on your system).

I had the same error in MacOS High Sierra
Doing:
brew install mysqlPATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/binsolved the problem

I found downloading Pattern from source allows you to use Pattern without worrying about SQL, until you actually need to use the database feature.

I got the same error as @alvations using the version from PyPI:

Because I don't need the database feature, I bluntly solved the issue by commenting out line 140 in
setup.py. So this:Becomes:
This way,
python setup.py installruns without any errors. It's not pretty but it works.falconair commentedon Jun 19, 2019
I am coming across this issue when I install pattern via pip (on python 3.6). I am installing this library as a dependency for gensim. I just need pattern for lemmatization features, is a mysql installation really required?
Several people have suggested installing mysql via brew or apt, but I need to install this library in an environment where things are pretty locked down. Not having a mysql dependency will make this much easier.
evanmiltenburg commentedon Jun 19, 2019
No. Mysql is needed for storing results. My solution above would work for you as well.

Having the same issue with OS Mojave 10.15.5 and the workaround from @curiousrohan seemed to work.

Performing these lines in terminal worked also for solving the problem in Jupyter Notebook 5.7.4 with Python 3.7.1 on macOS Mojave

In case you don't want to install mysql system-wide, you can easily create a Conda environment. The following works for me:

I solved the problem using
brew install mysql
as mentioned above! thanks
