When using brew install python and adding export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH to your .profile python still points to the system python executable. Instead you have to add this to the .profile: export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:$PATH".

I created a local branch on my computer with this edit but it is saying I don't have permissions to push it. I did a good amount of googling to get this set up so figured I would try to save others the time in the future :)

@bnorquist I was having a similar problem, but followed the instructions in the note in this section of the documentation:

If pipenv isn’t available in your shell after installation, you’ll need to add the user base‘s binary directory to your PATH.

On Linux and macOS you can find the user base binary directory by running python -m site --user-base and adding bin to the end. For example, this will typically print ~/.local (with ~ expanded to the absolute path to your home directory) so you’ll need to add ~/.local/bin to your PATH. You can set your PATH permanently by modifying ~/.profile.

When I run python -m site --user-base, I get /Users/charliesneath/Library/Python/3.6. I added the following to ~./profile:

export PATH="~/Library/Python/3.6/bin"

and this fixed this issue I was having not being able to run pipenv.

Is this related to the fix you found above?
