In a previous post I had written about an issue I’d had with upgrading, installing, or just generally maintaining the python package psycopg2 (link).
I ran into that issue again today, and thought to myself, “Hey, I’ve had this problem before AND wrote something up about it. Let me go see what I did last time.”
I searched my site for psycopg2 and tried the solution, but I got the same forking error.
OK … let’s turn to the experts on the internet.
After a while I came across this article on StackOverflow but this specific answer helped get me up and running.
A side effect of all of this is that I upgraded from Python 3.7.5 to Python 3.8.1. I also updated all of my brew packages, and basically did a lot of cleaning up that I had neglected.
Not how I expected to spend my morning, but productive nonetheless.
