Python@2 Homebrew Tap

This repo is archived and unmaintained. Use at your own risk.

Why does this exist?

The python@2 was removed from homebrew-core in #49796, as Python 2.7.x is now EOL and should no longer be in general usage.

In order to maintain some legacy applications for my work, I have extracted the last iteration of the python@2 formula to this repository. It has since been updated with Python 2.7.18, the last release (ever!) for Python 2.7.

You should not be using this for any new projects. This is a deprecated formula, and exists here only to facilitate running and supporting software that depends on it.

How do I use it?

Installation

Add the tap to homebrew:

brew tap matt-chapman/python2

Install as usual:

brew install python@2

Because the binary bottles are no longer hosted by Homebrew, the formula will build from source.

Uninstallation

To uninstall:

brew uninstall python@2

To remove this tap:

brew untap matt-chapman/python2
