Homebrew Python2

Why?

To have a following Brewfile possibility:

tap 'pr0d1r2/homebrew-python2'
brew 'pr0d1r2/python2/python@2.7.17', args: ['build-from-source']

How do I install this formula?

brew install pr0d1r2/python2/python@2.7.17 --build-from-source

Or brew tap pr0d1r2/python2 and then brew install python@2.7.17 --build-from-source.

Limitations

As unsupported packages do not have bottles we need to install from source. This has been tested on macOS 10.13 so far.

Documentation

brew help, man brew or check Homebrew's documentation.
