Details

I have installed openslide-tools via brew.
I have installed python via brew first, and later manually via their website (browser + gui).

The openslide-tools installed via brew are available to the interpreter in /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.
It is not available to the a virtual environment python interpreter residing in /Users/myname/venv/bin/python.
I definitely need to work in a virtual environment.

I probably need to manually add the openslide-tools lib to the search path. How can I do so?

Kind regards.

You should be able to pip install openslide-python inside the venv and use it from there, as long as the OpenSlide dylib is available in the library search path.
