Unable to install bsddb3 Python package on macOS Catalina 10.15.4

I've used Homebrew to install berkeley-db and am now struggling to install the bsddb3 Python package. Any help would be much appreciated.

bash-3.2$ BERKELEYDB_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/berkeley-db/18.1.32_1 pip install bsddb3

The trick for me was using Homebrew to install berkeley-db@4, rather than berkeley-db.

brew install berkeley-db@4
BERKELEYDB_DIR=$(brew --prefix berkeley-db@4) pip install bsddb3
