Woah ho ho! Welcome back dear internet friend. This blog is sure to be short, but will pack a punch! If you are having a hard time installing psycopg2 on your Mac using pip and are a bit intimidated by all the talk about PATHs and requisite dependencies et cetera et cetera… fret not! All you need is this little one liner:

$ pip3 install psycopg2-binary

That’s right, all you need to do is install psycopg2-binary INSTEAD of psycopg2 and everything will be easy peasy.
