Solution:

$ export PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl
$ export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib;export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include;

$ pip install wfuzz



Problem:

$ export PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl
$ export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib;export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include;
$ brew install --force curl --with-openssl

Solution: 

chown -R `id -u -n`:staff /usr/local/Cellar/
brew unlink pkg-config
brew reinstall pkg-config

pip uninstall pycurl
brew install openssl
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
export PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl
pip install --install-option="--with-openssl"  pycurl 


-- Solution Tested on March 13, 2019
; correct the lib versions

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/Cellar/rtmpdump/2.4+20151223/lib -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/c-ares/1.15.0/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/brotli/1.0.7/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/nghttp2/1.36.0/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl-openssl/lib/pkgconfig"

export PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl

pip install --install-option="--with-openssl" --no-cache-dir pycurl

This worked well, thank you
