Symbol not found: _BrotliDecoderCreateInstance with Python 3.7.2 and fresh pip install

[pirate]

There seems to be something preventing brotlipy from working on my machine:

$ pip --version
pip 19.0.1
$ virtualenv -p $(which python3.7) venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ python --version
Python 3.7.2

$ pip install --no-deps --no-binary :all: --ignore-installed brotlipy

This also happens with just plain pip install brotlipy (without the --no-deps --no-binary :all: --ignore-installed options).

same error

IIRC @ikreymer just ended up disabling brotli support in pywb when this error is encountered, so unfortunately I don't know of any workaround at the moment @kukat. Please post back if you do find a way to fix this!
