Can't install on macOS about vpype

[deranku]

Thanks for the response! Managing Python versions on macOS is a painful experience, but I finally managed to install 3.10 and vpype installed flawlessly.

Sidenote to Mac users facing similar problems: I installed Python 3.10 via Homebrew:
brew install [email protected].
This way, you can maintain multiple Python versions.

Then, since I have multiple Python versions insalled, I set the 3.10 branch as default as described here: https://dev.to/malwarebo/how-to-set-python3-as-a-default-python-version-on-mac-4jjf.

Now, installing pipx via Homebrew gave me the same error as in the original posting. Uninstalling pipx and re-installing it via pip led to success. So, basically as described in the docs 8-) Note to self: rtfm https://vpype.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html

Hi. vpype doesn't currently support Python 3.11. Python 3.10 is recommended. I don't know if you can install it along 3.11 with Homebrew. You may certainly use the official installer from https://python.org. There is no need to uninstall your existing Python 3.11, nor pipx. You can then install vpype by specifying the full path to the Python 3.10 interpreter:

pipx install 'vpype[all]' --python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/python3.10

This path is valid for the official installer. I'm not sure what the path would be for a Homebrew-installed Python 3.10.
