I have a working python version - python3 --version
gave Python 3.9.6
. Then I used homebrew to install python 3.12. It is located in /opt/homebrew/bin
according to the homebrew installer. If I run whereis python
I get usr/bin/python3
and /opt/homebrew/share/man/man1/python3.1
instead. Should I just delete the python binary in /usr/bin/Python
or is there a better way?
In the cloned git repo I will be working with I need to install a virtual environment with venv
. Can there be any conflicts if I use the python version in the homebrew directory and delete the binary in /usr/bin
?
Many thanks!
(novice question) newly installed python 3.12 is overshadowed
