Switching Python version installed by Homebrew

Question

I have Python 3.8 and 3.9 installed via Homebrew:

~ brew list | grep python
python@3.8
python@3.9

I want to use Python 3.9 as my default one

Answer 1

There is an Homebrew known issue related to side by side install of Python 3.8 / 3.9. To workaround, following commands should work for you:

brew unlink python@3.9
brew unlink python@3.8
brew link --force python@3.9
