When I execute pip3 install

Answer 1

Agree with the answer by mastaBlasta. Worked for me. I encountered the same problem as the topic description.

Environment: MacOS Sierra. And I use Homebrew.

My solution:

1. Reinstall openssl by brew uninstall openssl; brew install openssl

2. According to the hints given by Homebrew, do the following:

   echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
   export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
   export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
