tl;dr TIL pygame is broken using homebrew Python3, so I decided to wipe my shit and start from scratch. I figured I’d give you the quickness on what I did so next time this shit happens to someone, they have a handy reference.

TIL about pip freeze:

freeze  Output installed packages in requirements format.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Save the requirements to file if you want to quickly re-install everything you’re about to remove.

pip3 freeze > requirements.txt
pip3 freeze | xargs pip3 uninstall -y

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

rm -rfv /usr/local/bin/python3*

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Ok, time to install official Python3.

• https://www.python.org/

At this point you can do pip3 install -r requirements.txt to reinstall everything you uninstalled. I’m keeping my stuff cleaner for now ^_^!

To reiterate:

pip3 freeze > requirements.txt
pip3 freeze | xargs pip3 uninstall -y
rm -rfv /usr/local/bin/python3*
# Reinstall python3 here!
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
