homebrew-python

This Homebrew tap provides formulae to install multiple [universal] Python versions. It currently provides Python 2.7.14, Python 3.3.6, Python 3.4.6, Python 3.5.3 and Python 3.6.2. For building universal (i.e i386/x86_64) formulae it uses sashkab/universal tap.

Installing formulae

brew install sashkab/python/pythonXY

Or

brew tap sashkab/python
brew install pythonXY

Python 2.7

Universal Python 2.7 will be installed into /usr/local/opt/python27, as a keg, i.e without linking into /usr/local/bin in order to avoid conflicts with the python formulae.

brew install sashkab/python/python27  [--universal]
/usr/local/opt/python27/bin/pip2.7 install -U pip setuptools

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

virtualenv -p /usr/local/opt/python27/bin/python2.7 <path to venv>

Python 3.X

Replace X in example below with either 3 for Python 3.3, 4 for Python 3.4, 5 for Python 3.5, or 6 for Python 3.6.

brew install sashkab/python/python3X  [--universal]
pip3.X install -U pip setuptools
