MacOS python confusion

[normen]

Hi,

thanks for this plugin, it works great on Linux on my RasPi but I am having issues on MacOS..

On MacOS theres a bunch of different python installs. For one theres the one from MacOS itself, then theres one that comes with XCode and then usually people like me like to use the one installed via brew install python3.

It seems this plugin is always using the system-installed python in /usr/bin/python while the shell and everything else is using the homebrew-installed /usr/local/bin/python. So when I do pip3 install openai it installs fine but doesn't work in the plugin / in vim.

When I do /usr/bin/pip3 install openai I am getting issues with building, I suppose thats due to the system's python being incompatible with openai or something..

Try

/usr/bin/python -m pip install openai

This should install it for your system python version.

Please post the error message in case you still get errors.

Nah, same result as using /usr/bin/pip, somehow it can't install numpy successfully that way. I guess I'll want to avoid using vim internal python interpreter anyway, maybe I'll just make an external command for this, seems easier.

Heres the error log for reference.

brew install python
brew install python@3.10
brew install vim

Now, Vim will force to install Python3.11 a long side within...

brew unlink python3.11
brew unlink python3.10 && brew link python3.10
echo "alias python='$(brew --prefix)/bin/python3'" >> ~/.zshrc
echo "alias pip='pip3'" >> ~/.zshrc
