pynput installation failing in python 2.7

I tried to install pynput by doing pip install pynput. It throws an error in pyobjc-core-2.5.1. It tries to uninstall and install the package but an exception is thrown.

pip install pynput

I am using macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6, and from what I have heard, this is a common issue following the release of OS X El Capitan, at least on Mac platforms.

What happens is basically you have triggered something called the System Integrity Protection built in the OS itself, which prevents some paths of root filesystems from being modified - even by the root user. So, using sudo would not work either.

Using pip, you may include the flag --user in your command and install files onto your home directory to tackle this issue. So, try executing the command pip install pynput --user.

For further info, consider checking this article.
