Python versions for homebrew

This repo is no longer maintained. Please use sscherfke/homebrew-python instead:

$ brew untap ctheune/homebrew-python
$ brew tap sscherfke/homebrew-python

Insane copy of homebrew's original Python version packages. Provides formulas for Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1 and 3.2.

To use them, run brew tap ctheune/homebrew-python; brew update.

When you install additional Python 2 or 3 versions, you'll get errors in the link step (because each version claims to be the python(3)). To workaround this, execute the link command with the --overwrite option and repeat it for python(3) so that python/python3 point to the newest versions, e.g, for Python 2.6:

brew link --overwrite python26
brew link --overwrite python

or for Python 3.3:

brew link --overwrite python33
brew link --overwrite python3
