Broken Python with Poetry & pipX

Everyhting started with an error as any good story does.

zsh: ./poetry: bad interpreter: 
/Users/giraycoskun/.local/pipx/venvs/poetry/bin/python: no such file or directory

I have a cron job created via

crontab -l
crontab -e
0 8 * * * /opt/homebrew/bin/brew update && /opt/homebrew/bin/brew upgrade

Well recently this updated python 3.12.0 to 3.12.1 and poetry broke. Reason is below

pwd
/Users/giraycoskun/.local/pipx/venvs/poetry/bin
ls -la
lrwxr-xr-x   1 giraycoskun  staff    10 Nov 14 22:13 python -> python3.12
lrwxr-xr-x   1 giraycoskun  staff    10 Nov 14 22:13 python3 -> python3.12
lrwxr-xr-x   1 giraycoskun  staff    96 Dec 11 20:50 python3.12 -> /opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/3.12.0/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin/python3.12

Symlinks are pointing to brew install python3.12.0 however it is updated so this version is cleaned with the brew default option.

Solution

The lesson here is that python versions for well any tool should be stable so I set them to a python installed with pyenv.

pyenv install python3.12
unlink python3.12
ln -s /Users/giraycoskun/.pyenv/versions/3.12.0/bin/python3.12 python3.12
