About this project

This Homebrew tap provides formulae to install multiple Python versions.

Python Version Latest revision
Python 3.5 3.5.10 (deprecated)
Python 3.6 3.6.12
Python 3.7 3.7.9
Python 3.8 3.8.6

Installing formulae

Replace X in examples below with minor version of Python -- 5 for Python 3.5, 6 for Python 3.6, 7 for Python 3.7, or 8 for Python 3.8.

Python 3.X will be installed into /usr/local/opt/python@3.X, as a keg, i.e without linking into /usr/local/bin in order to avoid conflicts with the python formulae.

brew install sashkab/python/python@3.X

You can use it to create a virtual environment by passing full path to the Python executable:

/usr/local/opt/python@3.X/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/python@3.X/bin/python3.X -mpip install -U pip setuptools wheel

Python 2.7

Python 2.7 has been removed from this repository in early January 2020 after it reached end-of-life. See #46 for details.
