But this still would not remove python downloaded via brew, and you would potentially end up with two installations of the same Python version in your machine.Ī different way to see this problem is to add brew's python to pyenv.Īs you can see, in my case was installed as a dependency to black and other formulae, so this is what I did.įirst, create a symlink at ~/.pyenv/versions. So every time a formula depending on python is updated you must unlink all symlinks and recreate them pointing to your pyenv-installed version. Notice that python, python3 and python3.9 all point to Homebrew's python dependency. Lrwxr-xr-x 1 thecesrom staff 84 Jun 10 15:27 python3.9 ->.

Unfortunately 'unlinking' python from all formulae it is somewhat unnecessary as with each update you must 'relink' them. While I haven't tried it, this sounds like the best option for linking Homebrew's Python with pyenv. v, -verbose Make some output more verbose. d, -debug Display any debugging information. Python 3.11.0 will also be symlinked to 3.11.3. Note that older patch version symlinks will be created and linked to the minor Since brew version 4.1.0 (released ) there is a new command called pyenv-sync $ brew pyenv-sync -helpĬreate symlinks for Homebrew's installed Python versions in ~/.pyenv/versions. Required: gettext ✘, lua ✘, perl ✘, ✘, ruby ✘Īny ideas how can I link/connect my pyenv python installation to homebrew so that the additional is not installed? Or maybe solve the issue in another manner using pyenv global/local/shell? I am currently using macOs Catalina. Macvim (because vim and macvim both install vi* binaries) Vi 'workalike' with many additional featuresĮx-vi (because vim and ex-vi both install bin/ex and bin/view) However, running brew info vim still shows that the dependency is not satisfied. I have tried solving this according to this Github discussion by setting a brew alias such as: alias brew='env PATH=$ brew'Īs that did not resolve the dependency issue, I tried create a link for in /usr/local/Cellar which would point to the pyenv python, somehow similar to this issue with: ln -s ~/.pyenv/versions/3.8.2 $(brew -cellar did not work, so I have also tried adding the link to ´/usr/local/bin´: ln -s ~/.pyenv/versions/3.8.2 /usr/local/bin/ * 3.8.2 (set by PYENV_VERSION environment variable) I have installed pyenv with brew, and necessary python versions from there. Below follow the steps I've tried to overcome this. Unfortunately I cannot seem to resolve the python dependency in brew packages through pyenv. Reading up on brew, pyenv and python I´ve come to understand that having python installed in different parts of the system may cause some trouble in the future, which I'd also like to avoid. This would imply having to exactly same versions of python installed in 2 different locations, which I would like to avoid. However, I want to manage all my python installations with pyenv and I would not like to download with brew.

Some packages from brew require as a dependency.

Homebrew install python 3
