Environment: macOS mojave - 10.14.1; python 2.7.15/python 3.7.1.

在使用pip安装Twisted库时出现以下错误：

In file included from /usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0/7.1.0/include-fixed/syslimits.h:7:0,                 from /usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0/7.1.0/include-fixed/limits.h:34,                 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7/Python.h:19,                 from src/twisted/test/raiser.c:4:/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0/7.1.0/include-fixed/limits.h:194:15: fatal error: limits.h: No such file or directory #include_next 
    
       /* recurse down to the real one */               ^~~~~~~~~~compilation terminated.error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
    

在网上搜了很久，仅发现针对linux的解决方案。没有人提到macOS。

在一番研究后，发现macOS mojave的update故意删除了/user/include。于是想到是否因为/usr/include不存在了，所以pip找不到limit.h了呢。

于是执行了下面这行命令，重新手动恢复/usr/include文件夹。

open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg

可以看到/usr/include文件夹被恢复了。

在这之后再执行

pip install Twisted

结果显示successfully installed：

苹果macOS 10.14的更新去除了/usr/include，导致pip找不到header文件，从而阻止了Twisted库的安装。希望我的solution能帮到大家。
