Homebrew , python installing
Sounds like a permissions issue with /usr/local.
### Makes you owner of /usr/local $ sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local### Force uninstalls failed python$ brew uninstall -f python### Clear the brew cache$ rm -rf `brew --cache`### Recreate the brew cache$ mkdir `brew --cache`### Cleanup - cleans up old homebrew files$ brew cleanup### Prune - removes dead symlinks in homebrew$ brew prune### Doctor - runs homebrew checks for common error causing issues$ brew doctor########### Google and follow steps to fix what `brew doctor` came back with########### Reinstall python$ brew install python
Did you try brew link --overwrite python? This worked for me without having to uninstall python - see this question for more details.
