Issue description

lately, I'll get the following error doing any commands related to pipenv shell (--python 3.8.5, --support)

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/laps'

I reinstalled pipenv using homebrew but the error persists on: mac catalina 10.15.7 Homebrew 3.1.2

Im not sure why the folder is accessed where macOS LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) is located and therefore I dont really know whether to grant access rights

Appreciate any suggestions!

Have you tried installing using pip, rather than homebrew?

From the docs:

It’s possible to install Pipenv with Homebrew on MacOS, or with Linuxbrew on Linux systems. However, this is now discouraged, because updates to the brewed Python distribution will break Pipenv, and perhaps all virtual environments managed by it. You’ll then need to re-install Pipenv at least.

The issue is not Homebrew related, because I have the same problem and I have Pipenv installed via Pip.

The problem is that when running: pipenv --python 3.8.5, Pipenv searches for a Python executable with that version number. The search path includes /usr/local, where it trips over the write-only directory /usr/local/laps. This probably can be fixed easily by adding a try ... except somewhere.

In the meantime, a work-around is to provide the full path to the Python executable that you want to use: pipenv --python "/opt/local/python3.8"

Could you recheck this on the latest pipenv? I did some work on the pythonfinder logic and I believe this may be fixed now.

Sorry, I don't have access to this particular machine anymore.
