New submission from Barry Alan Scott <barry-sc...@users.sourceforge.net>:
The popular homebrew system installs its binaries into /usr/local/bin. The macOS python install also defaults to /usr/local/bin where it puts symlinks to Python like: % ls -l /usr/local/bin/python3.10 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 73 8 Feb 19:45:50 2021 /usr/local/bin/python3.10@ -> ../../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/python3.10 I understand that there are issues when homebrew installed code requires home brew's python but finds the python.org version. Having installation options to control both where the symlinks are installed or not having any symlinks installed would help. This would make it easier to work with both python.org and homebrew. >From researching it seems that homebrew cannot be configure to use another >folder for its installation. ---------- components: Installation messages: 386649 nosy: barry-scott priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: macOS python install shares /usr/local with homebrew and can conflict versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43168> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
