Description of issue

Simply don't know how to correctly required python libraries in a brew based system. I thought I read pip3 install pickleshare would be a bad thing. So what's the recommended way? I am new to homebrew and MacOS, but do have Linux background.

More directly, the ipython formula I installed has numerous UserWarnings when run. It seems like an incomplete installation. Here is the output when using valid commands.

In my previous experience one would simply install pickleshare via pip. What is the correct way to handle this with homebrew? The paradigm of homebrew appears to be different, so I am asking.

Thanks.

New to this. Have a link that explains the process? Something a new person could follow easily? Don't mind doing it at all, since it makes the Homebrew better.

Also, what is the paradigm for python library management under Homebrew? Don't want to mess up my system, if I can avoid it!

I see same UserWarning but in different context:

In the meantime, a workaround:

% /opt/homebrew/Cellar/ipython/8.26.0/libexec/bin/python -m pip install pickleshare
