Homebrew/Python3 install status on MacOS

[SmackTO]

I'm trying to install INDIWebManagerApp on my M4 Mac Mini (MacOS Sequoia). It's saying that Homebrew (and maybe Python3) on my machine but both are. I don't want to reinstall and have my computer crufted up with multiple versions. Any why INDIWebManagerApp can't correctly determine the installation status of its dependencies?

Digging into the code a bit, it seems that INDIWebManagerApp is looking for /usr/local/bin/brew to determine whether or not a homebrew installation exists. I think it's actually installed at /opt/homebrew on Apple Silicon Macs (but maybe not if you migrated your installation from an Intel Mac). See here: docs.brew.sh/Installation

And it seems it's looking for python3 here: /usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin as it's expecting python3 to be symlinked there by homebrew when installed via homebrew. My problem is that my python3 installation is managed via pyenv and there's no symlink to python3 at the path above.

Python has caused me trouble for a few years on MacOS. The issue is that there are many different ways it can be installed and different systems look for them in different places. When I made this app, homebrew was the easiest way. Yes, I did make this a few years ago and I was on an Intel Mac at the time. For KStars and for StellarSolver, I have tried very hard to get away from Python requirements due to all the issues with people's installations. One problem with this App is that it is based on the INDI Web Manager and indiweb, which is a Python program, so I can't really migrate away from that. I haven't updated this app for awhile, but if I get some time, I will see if I can make it work again for different Python installations and Silicon Macs
