Error installing Python 3 with Homebrew

Question

I'm having trouble when I want to install Python 3 using Homebrew.

This is my console:

$ brew install python3

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Thanks.

Try running:

If Homebrew was updated on Aug 10-11th 2016 and brew update always says Already up-to-date you need to run:

cd "$(brew --repo)" && git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master && brew update
