Description
So for reasons I haven't figured out yet, I am unable to install pycrypto 2.6.1 (which ledgerblue depends on) on Mac OS X 10.13.2 due to being unable to find gmp.h despite it being installed with Homebrew. Its likely because Homebrew changed up paths (I think I recall pkg-config changing behaviors a while back). But in trying to find the issue I went to pycrypto's GitHub and stumbled across https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/238 which seems to imply that pycryptodome is the continuation of pycrypto which is very clearly dead. I mention this issue for you to consider switching since I was at least able to install it.
