Based on the error message, you’re trying to install Python packages on a system that’s managed by Homebrew. Here are the three ways to resolve this:
- Using pipx (Recommended for applications):
# First install pipx
brew install pipx
# Then install your packages
pipx install scrapling
pipx install pytz
- Using a virtual environment (Recommended for development):
# Create a new virtual environment
python3 -m venv myenv
# Activate the virtual environment
source myenv/bin/activate
# Now install your packages
pip install scrapling pytz
- Force installation (Not recommended, but quickest):
pip install --user scrapling pytz
OR
pip install --break-system-packages scrapling pytz
I recommend using option 1 (pipx) or option 2 (virtual environment) as they’re safer approaches that won’t interfere with your system Python installation. The virtual environment approach is particularly good if you’re developing a project, as it keeps all your project dependencies isolated.
If you use the virtual environment approach, remember to:
- Activate the environment every time you want to work on your project using
source myenv/bin/activate - Deactivate it when you’re done using
deactivate - Create a
requirements.txtfile to track your dependencies
Would you like me to explain any of these approaches in more detail?
