I'm trying to run my Python 3 project on my newly formatted Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.4, by first running pipenv install to get the dependencies, but that fails.

Specifically, the part where it fails to install dependencies is the mysqlclient part.

This error message shows up:

_mysql.c:1894:3: error: use of undeclared identifier 'my_bool'
              my_bool recon = reconnect;
              ^
_mysql.c:1895:58: error: use of undeclared identifier 'recon'
              mysql_options(&self->connection, MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT, &recon);
                                                                     ^

==> Caveats
A CA file has been bootstrapped using certificates from the SystemRoots
keychain. To add additional certificates (e.g. the certificates added in
the System keychain), place .pem files in
  /usr/local/etc/openssl/certs

and run
  /usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/c_rehash

This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because Apple has deprecated use of OpenSSL in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries.

If you need to have this software first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

For compilers to find this software you may need to set:
    LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
    CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

I'm frustrated enough to want to uninstall all my python installations, but I'm just afraid I might screw something up with Mac that relies on the prebuilt outdated Python version.

How can I get my dependencies to be installed correctly?

mysqlclient is not compatible with MySQL 8.0.11 at the time of this writing. Using MySQL v5.7.x will fix this issue (at least on macOS).
