brew installation of numpy is not working


I installed numpy with brew as seen here:

(venv6) me:pcode me$ brew install numpy
==> Downloading https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula.jws.json

==> Downloading https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask.jws.json

Warning: numpy 1.26.3 is already installed and up-to-date.

But then

Python 3.8.0 (v3.8.0:fa919fdf25, Oct 14 2019, 10:23:27) 
[Clang 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'

When I deactive the virtual environment (venv6) I get the same error. Any help would be appreciated.


Solution

  • Why are you using hombrew? Surely the best solution would be to use pip install numpy, that should fix your error.
