If you are using an M1 Mac to run tox, there is currently an issue with pyenchant that you would run into while running
linters
. This happens because python distributions installed bypyenv
are in the default M1 architecture (aarch64), and can't find a compatible enchant library. As a workaround, you can follow the below steps.Install enchant with Homebrew
Set environment variable
PYENCHANT_LIBRARY_PATH
to point to the installed enchant library before runningtox
.export PYENCHANT_LIBRARY_PATH = /opt/homebrew/lib/libenchant-2.dylib
You can set this environment variable in your
~/.zshrc
or in your IDE to avoid doing it everytime.
