When trying to use any hg Mercurial commands on the console, I keep getting this error. I installed Python using Homebrew and I am running Mac OS Catalina v. 10.15.1.

Any reference would be appreciated. Here is the error I'm getting:

hg commit --amend

I also tried following the instruction on this issue but none of the solutions seem to work 

brew link openssl --force
Warning: Refusing to link macOS-provided software: [email protected]
If you need to have [email protected] first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For compilers to find [email protected] you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include"

For pkg-config to find [email protected] you may need to set:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig"

Running brew reinstall python@2 didn't work for my existing Python 2.7 virtual environments. Inside them there were still ERROR:root:code for hash sha1 was not found errors.

I encountered this problem after I ran brew upgrade openssl. And here's the fix:

$ ls /usr/local/Cellar/openssl

...which shows

1.0.2t

According to the existing version, run:

$ brew switch openssl 1.0.2t

...which shows

Cleaning /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t
Opt link created for /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t

After that, run the following command in a Python 2.7 virtualenv:

(my-venv) $ python -c "import hashlib;m=hashlib.md5();print(m.hexdigest())"

...which shows

d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e

No more errors.
