pip3 install Fiona

Now in my .py file I'm trying to import Fiona using import fiona

This error arises because MacOS High Sierra (10.13.6) doesn't have ____chkstk_darwin function.

You can locally force a specific Fiona version with pip, in particular the last one that supports High Sierra:

pip install fiona==1.6.4
