Answer 1

I used brew to install everything on Mac OS 10.14.2.

The other answers weren't working for me, when inside of a virtual environment (virtualenv) on Mojave. I followed Jofsey's instructions but got errors:

    ld: library not found for -lssl
    clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
    error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

So, after I ran those commands, I ran this as the final command and it worked:

sudo pip install MySQL-Python --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" --global-option="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"

Edit:

Another solution I found on GitHub, assuming you've already run brew install openssl (which avoids the need for CLI parameters and will prevent future SSL library errors):

export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/

You can put the above in your ~/.bash_profile file and then run source ~/.bash_profile or if it's a virtual environment, you can find a way to run the export in the virtual environment shell and check the value in the virtual environment CLI with echo $LIBRARY_PATH. Once the $LIBRARY_PATH is set, you won't keep seeing these SSL library errors.
