Hi there! I'm one of the Homebrew maintainers, albeit not a very active one for the past year or so.

I agree that we could definitely improve our documentation on what people can and should expect from a Homebrewed version of Python; I'll look into opening a PR that improves these docs tonight.

That would be really helpful. In another thread you mentioned that "individual developers will always be best served to isolate their development environments from the overarching runtime environment that's been distributed to them". I agree, but it took me way longer to figure that out than I think was necessary, precisely because the "Homebrew and Python" docs don't mention that. I imagine a lot of other developers have been similarly affected, so many thanks in advance for looking into opening a pull request to enhance the documentation.
