The issue:
So, as per recommendation I have uninstalled local python versions (except for the Mac default one) and installed pyenv-virtualvenv through brew. (see: [installed python packages in wrong folder][1])
However, whenever I try to install something through pip/pip3/python/python3 it will install the package in the folder /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.10/site-packages although there is no python 3.10 installed in /opt/homebrew (or cellar) anymore. I also ran brew doctor and brew cleanup --prune=all, both seemingly fine.
Summary:
Since the packages are installed to a wrong path, I cannot use them, as it will state the module is not found.
My Setup:
Specs:
Macbook Air M1 Ventura
Visual Studio Code Version: 1.75.0
check for versions:
myusername@MacBook ~ % which pip
/Users/myusername/.pyenv/shims/pip
myusername@MacBook ~ % which pip3
/Users/myusername/.pyenv/shims/pip3
myusername@MacBook ~ % which python
/Users/myusername/.pyenv/shims/python
myusername@MacBook ~ % which python3
/Users/myusername/.pyenv/shims/python3
myusername@MacBook ~ % pyenv versions
system
* 3.11.1 (set by /Users/myusername/.pyenv/version)
3.11.1/envs/venv_mypyenv_playground
venv_mypyenv_playground
myusername@MacBook ~ % which brew
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew
check for PATH$:
myusername@MacBook ~ % echo $PATH
/Users/myusername/.pyenv/shims:/Users/myusername/.pyenv/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/local/go/bin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin
While there's the path /Users/myusername/.pyenv/shims, there is no path: /Users/myusername/.pyenv/bin, but: /Users/myusername/.pyenv/versions/3.11.1/bin
- Maybe that is part of the problem? If so, how can I amend the PATH$ correctly?
Check on Bash and ZSH Setup:
I was wondering if there's something wrong with some bash or zshcr files, which causes python to prioritize homebrew. This is how they look:
My setup:
.bash_profile
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
.bashrc is empty
.zprofile
# set PATH, MANPATH, etc., for Homebrew.
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
.zshrc
export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
fi
- Do I maybe need to change
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"this, so the none-existent path/Users/myusername/.pyenv/bin, will be corrected as:/Users/myusername/.pyenv/versions/3.11.1/bin? How would it look like correctly then?export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/versions/3.11.1/bin:$PATH"? Answer: I tried this, but it didn't change anything. Packages are still loaded to homebrew library.
I am really at a loss, at what's causing the issue, as the used python versions seem to be ok and belonging to pyenv.
- Would it be also an option to uninstall brew and try again? or would that break my current pyenv setup?
Might my bash profile help to figure things out?
% nano .bash_profile
@MacBook~ % source .bash_profile
‘FROM BASH_PROFILE’
HOME=/Users/myusername
HOMEBREW_CELLAR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar
HOMEBREW_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew
HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY=/opt/homebrew
INFOPATH=/opt/homebrew/share/info:
LC_CTYPE=UTF-8
LOGNAME=myusername
MANPATH=/opt/homebrew/share/man::
OLDPWD=/Users/myusername
PATH=/Users/myusername/.pyenv/shims:/Users/myusername/.pyenv/versions/3.11.1/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/local/go/bin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin
PWD=/Users/myusername
PYENV_ROOT=/Users/myusername/.pyenv
PYENV_SHELL=zsh
SHELL=/bin/zsh
(some things. I am going to skip:)
pyenv:12: command not found: pyenv
Thank you! [1]: Installed python packages will stay in site packages 3.10?
