pwntools
Installing this was no piece of cake. Running brew info pwntools did install it but it was not usable from a python console of file, whichever version I was trying to use. I kept getting the following error with a unicorn module:
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/private/var/folders/qr/0141vtnn6b90rb95k7dxt_v40000gn/T/pip-install-aay617qf/unicorn_2e7424c1f653496d8b2d9a21682df184/../../include/unicorn'
[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
As it turned out, the PipPy package is too old and one must install the latest version some other way. I even tried building the unicorn myself but it did not help (even though it was installed).
Below is the solution that might also be helpful in similar cases:
MACOS_UNIVERSAL=no pip install capstone
pip install "git+https://github.com/aquynh/capstone.git#egg=capstone&subdirectory=bindings/python"
MACOS_UNIVERSAL=no pip install unicorn
pip install "git+https://github.com/unicorn-engine/unicorn.git#egg=unicorn&subdirectory=bindings/python"
