• i set up pyenv and thought i was cool.
• i need to use IDLE for the beginning of the class and there was a package that was out of date.
• turns out getting that package is broken in Homebrew and in pyenv (literally for years). there are workarounds on github but i when i follow the steps exactly they don't work. (i am not alone in this.)
• spend over 90 minutes faffing around.
• uninstall all versions of python 3 and pyenv (possibly breaking a dependency in something else installed by Homebrew)
• install Python 3 from their website
• discover pyenv is still in my PATH
• remove pyenv from PATH
• i swear i saved that file why is this still stealing my command?
• remember that i have to restart the shell before that takes effect
• accept that i will be typing "python3" and "pip3" forever.
