Import psycopg2 Library not loaded: libssl.1.0.0.dylib

Question

When I try to run the command:

import psycopg2

I get the error:

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/gwulfs/anaconda/lib/python2.7/si         


        

Answer 1

After trying for more than a day I came to the below solution.

• brew reinstall openssl@1.0
• disable csrutil -> google it how to disable it, so that we could copy something
  to /usr/lib
• copy libssl.1.0.0.dylib to /usr/lib I did- sudo cp /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2s/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/lib
• copy libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib to /usr/lib I did- sudo cp /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2s/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/lib

Similarly, if you face issue for Library not loaded: libssl.1.0.0.dylib just change the version from 1.0 to 1.1 of openssl and copy libssl.1.1 instead libssl.1.0 and libcrypto.1.1 instead libcrypto.1.0.0

Done you are all set to enjoy psycopg2 in mac.
