# A guide to prevent pain and suffering while upgrading to OS X Mavericks | |
# This will vary greatly depending on system set up, so read the instructions carefully | |
# Back up Virtulenvs | |
#################### | |
# Very important! | |
# For each virtualenv you have, run "pip freeze > requirements.txt" while in the activated virtualenv | |
# in order to prevent loss of dependencies during the upgrade. | |
# Install Mavericks | |
################### | |
# Go to the App Store and install Mavericks | |
# Takes about 15 - 20 mins including set up | |
# Test Configuration | |
#################### | |
# See if anything broke during the upgrade - I obviously had errors here. | |
$ cd project/using/virtualenv | |
$ workon <myproject> | |
$ python <myproject.py> | |
# If everything works, you're good! Otherwise, continue... | |
# Reinstall Virtualenv | |
###################### | |
$ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/command | |
$ python easy_install.py virtualenv | |
# Reinstall Xcode Command Line Tools | |
################################## | |
# Yes, for some reason Mavericks uninstalls command line tools... | |
# Make sure you get the latest version (5.0.1) | |
$ xcode-select --install | |
# Repair Homebrew | |
################# | |
# If you don't already have Homebrew, I highly recommend that you install it now (http://brew.sh/) | |
# It will make fixing Python much easier if you need to relink it | |
$ brew update | |
$ brew upgrade | |
$ brew doctor | |
# Reinstall Python (if necessary) | |
################################# | |
# Try python from the command line. If it works, congratulations! | |
# Depending on your system set up, you may need to reinstall using Homebrew. | |
$ brew install python # if you have an error, it's already installed and there's no issue | |
$ brew unlink python | |
$ brew link --overwrite python | |
# Then, if you want to include Python 3 as well (recommended): | |
$ brew install python3 # same deal here | |
$ brew unlink python3 | |
$ brew link --overwrite python3 | |
# Reinstall virtualenv{,wrapper} | |
################################ | |
$ sudo pip install virtualenv | |
$ sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper | |
# Reinstall requirements | |
######################## | |
# You might need to reinstall pip requirements (usually not, but if you have any issues, do this): | |
$ cd path/to/project | |
$ mkvirtualenv <project> | |
$ pip install -r requirements.txt # you backed them up didn't you? | |
# Finish | |
######## | |

This fixed a slew of Python problems in Mavericks that I didn't even know I had yet. Thanks! |

I had to uninstall virtualenv & virtualenvwrapper like this:
as well. I think that's because I attempted to re-install them before finding this set of instructions, so I was missing the step to reinstall command-line tools from XCode, and the brew steps. THANK YOU! My local python dev environment is working again! |

I also had postgresql issues, but I had to fix them without Homebrew. What does the --no-tcl flag do? |

I fixed all my (obvious) problems just by relinking everything.

THANK YOU! To both goldsmith and kneufeld. I installed Maverick over night, and woke up to broken development environments. This was followed by remembering I have some stuff that needs to be production ready in a couple of ours. Followed by a panic attack, and then peace after finding your helpful guide. Cheers, |

Isn't --overwrite too dangerous to be used on every keg? |
