Python is installed as
$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin/python3.11
Unversioned and major-versioned symlinks `python`, `python3`, `python-config`, `python3-config`, `pip`, `pip3`, etc. pointing to
`python3.11`, `python3.11-config`, `pip3.11` etc., respectively, are installed into
$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/[email protected]/libexec/bin
You can install Python packages with
pip3.11 install <package>
They will install into the site-package directory
$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/lib/python3.11/site-packages
`idle3.11` requires tkinter, which is available separately:
brew install [email protected]
gdbm (`dbm.gnu`) is no longer included in this formula, but it is available separately:
brew install [email protected]
`dbm.ndbm` changed database backends in Homebrew Python 3.11.
If you need to read a database from a previous Homebrew Python created via `dbm.ndbm`,
you'll need to read your database using the older version of Homebrew Python and convert to another format.
`dbm` still defaults to `dbm.gnu` when it is installed.
If you do not need a specific version of Python, and always want Homebrew's `python3` in your PATH:
brew install python3
