JJN-INFO: BREWPYENV

Overview

This project, brewpyenv, seems like a utility script for migrating Python dependencies managed by Homebrew to pyenv. It identifies Brew-installed Python packages, replaces them with pyenv-managed equivalents, and reconfigures the environment accordingly. Includes some solid logging and cleanup functionality.

Key File Notes:

  • util.mjs:

    • Implements the core migration logic:
      • Fetch Brew formulae and identify Python dependencies.
      • Replace Brew Python versions with pyenv-managed ones.
      • Generate symlinks for compatibility.
      • Update .zshrc to prioritize pyenv paths.
    • Handles logging with winston, saving logs in pyenv_migration.log.
    • Code looks well-structured and async-heavy, with clean separation of logic.

  • util.test.mjs:

    • Includes tests for util.mjs. They pass, which is reassuring. Seems to cover most functionality.

  • index.mjs:

    • Entry point, probably orchestrates the workflow but isn’t shown above.

Usage

  1. Setup:

    • Clone the repository and install dependencies: 
      bun install
    • Alternatively, if you’re using npm: 
      npm install

  2. Run the Migration:

    • Execute the main migration logic: 
      node index.mjs
    • Outputs logs to pyenv_migration.log for debugging.

  3. Testing:

    • Run tests to validate functionality: 
      node util.test.mjs

Core Workflow

  1. Identify Brew-Managed Python:

    • Scans installed Brew packages to find Python-related dependencies.
    • Extracts unique Python versions (python@X.Y).

  2. Replace with pyenv:

    • Installs equivalent Python versions using pyenv.
    • Generates symlinks for Brew binaries pointing to pyenv equivalents.

  3. Reinstall Packages:

    • Reinstalls Brew packages that depend on Python using the new environment.

  4. Update Environment:

    • Modifies .zshrc to prioritize pyenv over Brew for Python management.

  5. Cleanup:

    • Removes old Brew-managed Python versions.

Quick Commands

  • Run Migration: 
    node index.mjs
  • Test Utilities: 
    node util.test.mjs

Thoughts and To-Dos

  1. General:

    • Clean setup for managing Python environments. This script could save time if managing multiple Python versions via Brew was ever painful.
    • Logging is solid, but the log file could grow large—might want a rotation mechanism.

  2. Error Handling:

    • Handles failures gracefully for most parts but could expand error messages for failed Brew or pyenv commands (e.g., missing versions).

  3. Next Steps:

    • Add more command-line options (e.g., dry run mode, verbose logging).
    • Expand the README to include instructions on usage and purpose.
    • Consider packaging this as an NPM or Bun utility for easier reuse.

  4. Refactoring:

    • index.mjs likely orchestrates the workflow; could use some comments or splitting into multiple files for clarity.
