Installing python with pyenv
Raw
pyenv.md

pyenv was failing to install python due the inexistence of the pyexpat library.

In order to solve this problem, I upgraded brew, installed and uninstalled openssl with brew and installed the HEAD version of pyenv.

Before installing the required python versions I exported the following flags:

CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include"
LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib"

Finally, I installed python 3.5.1 and 2.7.11 with pyenv install -v X.X.X.

pyenv does not work with --enable-framework as it requires root access to symlink the framework to /Application. The workaround is to use pyenv to install conda, which comes with the framework on. This is the case with YouCompleteMe, a plugin for vim.
