This Homebrew tap provides formulæ to install Python libraries with external dependencies that pip doesn't know how to handle, including the scientific Python stack (numpy, scipy, and matplotlib).
We aim to provide precompiled bottles where we can.
Please send us a pull request if you don't see your favorite!
brew install homebrew/python/<formula>
Or brew tap homebrew/python and then brew install <formula>.
Please check the main Homebrew troubleshooting guide and then open an issue in this tap.
Homebrew Python modules install to whichever Python is first in the PATH. Our formulas are tested against Homebrew Python as well as the Python that came with your Mac.
Formulæ are installed with Python 2 support by default. For simultaneous Python 3 support, use brew install <formula> --with-python3. If you don't need Python 2.x support at all, you can pass --with-python3 --without-python.
- Fork this repository on GitHub.
- Clone to your Mac.
- Read Python for Formula Authors and look at the other formulæ here.
- In your locally cloned
homebrew-pythonrepo, create a new branch:git checkout --branch my_new_formula - Write/edit your formula (ruby file). Check Homebrew's documentation for details.
- Test it locally!
brew install ./my-new-formula.rb. Does it install? Note,./<formula>.rbwill target the local file. git push --set-upstream origin my-new-formulato get it into your GitHub fork as a new branch.- If you have to change something, add a commit and
git push. - On GitHub, select your new branch and then click the "Pull Request" button.
