I saw another thread that suggested doing brew uninstall c-ares, but I didn't have c-ares installed.

Thanks for the report, I'll take a look.

I added GH Actions for testing macOS and cannot reproduce the problem: https://github.com/saghul/pycares/commit/ce31c6d9492915198b7a6d4e8eaad3243a00447a/checks?check_suite_id=356017093

I plan to release binary wheels for macOS too, so this should be a problem of the past, soon.

anybody has fixed this issue? I ‘m under osx 10.14 with latest python3. Unistalling c-ares with brew not solve the problem. I can install pycares with python2 but I need it under python3, please can someone give me some suggestion to fix the problem?

[saghul]

The latest version (4.0.0) should now work.
