New submission from Barry A. Warsaw: The devguide does touch on how to build Python from source using homebrew installed libraries on macOS, although I found it to be 1) a bit incomplete; 2) not so easy to discover. It might make sense to modify configure to autodetect homebrew, or to have a switch to enable linking against homebrew libraries. Barring that, I'd like to at least update the devguide to include details on how to also build sqlite3 and zlib modules. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Build, Documentation messages: 300819 nosy: barry, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Support building against homebrew on macOS versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31274> _______________________________________
