无法使用 Pyenv 在 macOS Monterey 12.5 上安装 Python 版本

Question

Disclaimer : I've read many, many, many threads about this but no solution worked for me, or at least wasn't clear enough in what I would do to my OS.

Recently I migrated from an old MacBookPro with Catalina to the M1 Pro with Monterey. My previous install of Pyenv has been transferred correctly with Time Machine.

Now I want to create a virtual environment for installing TensorFlow (without Miniforge, as I saw some guides that manage to), with my classic pyenv virtualenv my_python_version my_tensorflow_env .

To do so, I read that I need Python 3.8 , but currently, I just have 3.10.4

$ pyenv versions
  system
* 3.10.4 (set by /Users/username/.pyenv/version)

When I try to install the version I need I get the following error

$ pyenv install 3.8.0                                                                        
python-build: use openssl@1.1 from homebrew
python-build: use readline from homebrew
Installing Python-3.8.0...

• Xcode Version 13.2 (13C90) with Command Line Tools just installed after downloading such version of Xcode
• macOS Monterey 12.5
• $ brew list --versions pyenv produces pyenv 2.3.3

Can you suggest some meaningful solution that doesn't break everything and allows me to properly use both TensorFlow and Pyenv as they are supposed to? Without tying my system to some unknown conditions or settings which I might break in the future.

Answer 1

Ok finally found the solution: the problem was that I had recently migrated from Catalina on an old MBP2013 (Intel) to this new M1. The Homebrew installation was "faulty" due to this, so I reinstalled brew from zero and everything works fine now.

Bonus tip: I managed to install TensorFlow without Conda by running

pip install tensorflow-macos
pip install tensorflow-metal
