Error: Calling 'depends_on :python' is disabled!

[rene-demonsters]

I'm not entirely sure what's breaking, but when using brew install xxx or using brew services list for example, I get the following error and homebrew crashes:

Use 'depends_on "python@2"' instead.
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/duggan/homebrew-protobuf3/protobuf3.rb:56:in `<class:Protobuf3>'
Please report this to the duggan/protobuf3 tap!
Or, even better, submit a PR to fix it!
If reporting this issue please do so at (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core):

This formula is deprecated, there's an official formula for protobuf 3.

I think if you remove this tap (with brew untap duggan/homebrew-protobuf3) it should fix your problem. You might need or want to install the official one thereafter.

I did something similar to that. I hand patched it, got another error, patched that by commenting it out and then I was able to brew uninstall the formula. Thanks for the heads up on the depreciation, luckily it's just a left over from an afternoon of messing around.
