Charlie,
Really!? How can you tell that from what I sent?
Yep. From your e-mail from 10th July.
The issue I have with homebrew (which btw, is the package manager I
would prefer to use…), is that I can't get pyserial to install under
homebrew.
ah, new information.
I know there is a way to build an installer using homebrew, but pyserial
isn't available under git , and I went looking for another 'path' to the
goal, since I really didn't want to build everything from scratch!
sudo path/to/your/homebrew's python/pip install pyserial (this should also
work in a virtual environment)
As far as I can tell there isn't any one place that describes who puts
what where for OS X. Is anyone aware of one? I'm *really* thinking about
starting one!
It's quite easy: either you use the stuff Apple f*cks up; or you use a
package manager such Homebrew or MacPorts. It is asking for trouble to mix
and match the two, especially as Apple almost never updates libraries
between releases.
Also, what do you mean that installing PyQt with homebrew "will limit
the effectiveness of any virtualenv"? I couldn't seem to get my virtual
environment to find PyQt.
That's what I meant by "limiting". If the virtualenv has access to the
system packages, necessary for PyQT, the the degree of isolation that you
have is reduced. I hit a similar bump recently getting Weasyprint running.
