Then I tried to brew remove --ignore-dependencies gettext as per the python bug https://bugs.python.org/issue46975

Then I got:

ginstall: cannot stat 'Modules/_blake2.cpython-312-darwin.so': No such file or directory
make: *** [sharedinstall] Error 1

Answer 1

As per https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues/2805

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies [email protected]
asdf install python 3.12.1
brew install [email protected]

Uninstalling OpenSSL 1.1 fixes the issue
