# Fix virtualenv symlinks after upgrading python with Homebrew and then running
# `cleanup`.
#
# After upgrading Python using Homebrew and then running `brew cleanup` one can
# get this message while trying to run python:
# dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../.Python
#   Referenced from: /Users/pablo/.venv/my-app/bin/python
#   Reason: image not found
# Trace/BPT trap: 5
#
# This happens because the symlinks in the virtualenv point to paths that no
# longer exist. This script is intended to fix that.
