OSX High-Sierra: HIDAPI was successfully installed for python 2.7. Python3 was installed today:
Users-MacBook-Air:~ user$ python3 --version
Python 3.7.5
HIDAPI was reinstalled after the python3 installation:
brew reinstall hidapi
This restored the python script that was working with python2 and restored the barcode scanner script is working with:
sudo python2 test5.py
However attempts to run the script with python3 returns an error:
sudo python3 test5.py
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hid'
An attempt install HIDAPI for python3 via pip3 failed:
pip3 install hidapi
Is it necessary and possible to install HIDAPI with PIP3 for python3?
Suggestions to overcome pip3 errors are appeciated: thank you
sudo -H pip3 install hidapi returns:

The module:
pip3 install hidapi==0.7.99.post14
indicated several build error but ultimately indicated:
Installing collected packages: Cython, hidapi
Running setup.py install for hidapi ... done
Successfully installed Cython-0.29.14 hidapi-0.7.99.post14
Tested & Verified python3 process HID traffic.
https://github.com/trezor/cython-hidapi/issues/65 This seems to be bug in the software.
Hacky solution in the meanwhile is to get the MacOSX10.14 sdk that is bundled with Xcode 10.
Install Xcode 10.1 (High-Sierra Compatible) from the Apple website Be sure to install Xcode to /Applications directory. If it is not installed to /Applications move it from /Downloads to /Applications.
The path xcode-select -p should be corrected using
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
The command:
/usr/bin/xcodebuild -version
should return:
Xcode 10.1
Build version 10B61
With Xcode properly in to support pip3:
$ pip3 install hidapi
