@rmc we have a dependency on a bash script as well, since we need to redirect stdin to tty input and such. So getting the bash file to distribute with PIP and symlink as well was slightly complicated. I only recently realized that the entire program could be ported over to python (the stdin redirection is supported in python as well) but I still think homebrew is slightly more popular than having pip installed, especially with all the JS development going on today

pip would probably be a lot better from a cross-platform perspective then something really obscure like linuxbrew.

  +1 for pip over linuxbrew

> I still think homebrew is slightly more popular than having pip installed I disagree. On Linux, we have operating system package managers. pip is popular among python programmers, for python packages. Asking to install another random package manager is unlikely to be popular.
