I can't recommend pyenv and pipx enough. I use brew to install pyenv and pipx, and there ends my interaction with brew and python.
Pyenv builds all of my python versions. Pipx installs cli tools in their own env.
Precommit is also great for much more than just pre-commit hooks. It can install tools used for hooks in their own cache, no need to manage venvs yourself.
Pyenv will setup Python environments under your user and replace the system Python executable with a shim. Depending on your setup, it can create a lot of confusion (I have fixed a lot of colleague machines in the past year that were broken in one way or another).
Doing a `python[V.v] -m venv …` and then sourcing `activate` is conceptually much simpler and doesn’t affect any other terminal sessions you may have open.
