Solution

First Install following,

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

Then, I was installing frappe version 7 and using bench version 4.1.0 bench init --frappe-branch v7.x.x --verbose frappe-bench7 && cd frappe-bench7 command when encountered above issue and failed bench init process.

/home/frappe-bench7/env/bin/pip install mysql-python
