    This is incredibly, annoying, I can't do anything in python until this is fixed. Thanks if you can help, I know it can be annoying to have to look at so much code but i'd really appreciate. I'm trying to install python because I think my previous installs aren't very clean.

    ==> Caveats
    This formula is keg-only, so it was not symlinked into /usr/local.

    OS X provides the BSD libedit library, which shadows libreadline.
    In order to prevent conflicts when programs look for libreadline we are
    defaulting this GNU Readline installation to keg-only.

    Generally there are no consequences of this for you.
    If you build your own software and it requires this formula, you'll need
    to add its lib & include paths to your build variables:

    You are installing the lib in system wide and have not permission at directory. Run your make install with sudo.

    installation - Python Can't Find Platform Dependent Libraries -- Mac Homebrew Install
  • Pygmalion

    In an effort to purify my environment I have recently eliminated MacPorts and all traces therein from my Mac OS 10.6.6 box, replacing it with the hip new Homebrew (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew).

    Today I ran into my first problem. I'm attempting to install Python 2.7.1 (Mac OS X still defaults to 2.6). I ran brew install python at the Terminal. Everything seemed to install fine. When I ran python however, I received this output:

    pygmalion:~:% python
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jan 24 2011, 12:12:00) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

    At first I thought it was an inconsequential error message, but upon further investigation, I've come to see that Python is very much lacking its core system libraries. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, playing around with all different values for $PYTHONHOME and $PYTHONPATH but so far no luck.

    As far as system information: brew appears to have installed Python in /usr/local/bin/python.

    pygmalion:~:% brew --config

    Thanks in advance... I'm at a loss.

    Edit: Here is the output of sys.path.
