Hi,
as mentioned in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/issues/3667 keg-only formulas which build python modules show a message how you can link the generated python modules.
If you need Python to find bindings for this keg-only formula, run:
echo /usr/local/opt/opencv3/lib/python2.7/site-packages >> /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/opencv3.pth
This message only appears for python2.x. The opencv3 formula can be build with python3 support but no message appears. If you disable the python2 build (like brew install opencv3 --without-python --with-python3) you get no message at all.
The current Implementation only handles python2. Wouldn't it make sense to show a similar message when building python3 modules? Or should this be handled by the formular directly? I couldn't find any documentation on this.
CC @tdsmith for thoughts.
It would make sense!
If this is still broken for you: we'll accept PRs for this but we're not actively working on it at this time.
I'm working on this but the details are annoying and I don't like my solution yet; within the next week, for sure.
@tdsmith Any news on this?
