I'm using Mojave with XCode 11.3 (Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.16)).

I tried installing the wiredtiger library from pip using Python 3.7.4 (and then 3.8.0 in a separate virtualenv) which appeared to be successful.

However, the module fails to import with a SWIG error:

File ".../Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/wiredtiger/_init_.py", line 36, in <module>
_swig_new_static_method = _wiredtiger.SWIG_PyStaticMethod_New
AttributeError: module 'wiredtiger._wiredtiger' has no attribute 'SWIG_PyStaticMethod_New'

I tried building from source using SWIG 4.0.1:

./configure --enable-snappy --enable-lz4 --enable-zlib --enable-zstd --enable-python --with-builtins
make
make install

This resulted in the same error when I tried to "import wiredtiger" in Python.

WT-5159 was pointed out as a possible culprit, so I downgraded to SWIG 3.0.12 and did a "make clean" followed by the same steps to build and install from source.

I still have the import error complaining about SWIG_PyStaticMethod_New.

Any suggestions?
