pymssql: Package installation failed in Mac OS

Question

I tried installing with pipenv install pymssql and it failed

Then tried with pip install pymssql but import pymssql not working in Mac OS (Big Sur 11.5.2)

Also tried pip3 install pymssql==2.1.5 it gave error as

 error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit code 1

brew tap microsoft/mssql-release https://github.com/Microsoft/homebrew-mssql-release
brew update
brew install msodbcsql mssql-tools
