Python on MacOS “dyld: Library not loaded” - error

Question

I am trying to run a python script that executes few API calls and Kafka logic but getting following error:
dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../.Python

Answer 1

The issue is related to hombrew Python installs/upgrade.

Anyone who is using pipenv (and you should!) can simply use these two commands — without having the venv activated:

rm -rf `pipenv --venv` # remove the broken venv
pipenv install --dev   # reinstall the venv from pipfile
