Installing formulae
Replace X in examples below with minor version of Python -- 7 for Python 3.7, or 8 for Python 3.8.
Python 3.X will be installed into /usr/local/opt/[email protected], as a keg, i.e without linking into /usr/local/bin in order to avoid conflicts with the python formulae.
brew install sashkab/python/[email protected]You can use it to create a virtual environment by passing full path to the Python executable:
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.X -mvenv <path to venv>In order to update to latest version of pip, setuptools and wheel, use following command:
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.X -mpip install -U pip setuptools wheelDeprecations
