最近项目上需编译Node老项目，用到Python2。可Mac Monterey默认移除了Python2。实际上Python官方宣布 2020 年 1 月后不再更新维护 Python2，最后版本为2.7.18。
在2020年4月之前可使用 brew install python@2 来安装python2，但实测已失效，报错如下：
❯ brew install python@2
Warning: No available formula with the name "python@2". Did you mean ipython, bpython, jython or cython?
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
These similarly named formulae were found:
ipython bpython jython cython
To install one of them, run (for example):
brew install ipython
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.Copybrew install python@2
随后找到 [email protected] ，同样失效，报错如下：

只需3步，轻松在Mac上管理Python版本。
- 执行
brew install pyenv：

2. 第二步安装python，pyenv install 2.7.18 ：
❯ pyenv install 2.7.18
python-build: use [email protected] from homebrew
python-build: use readline from homebrew

3. 设置全局默认 pyenv global 2.7.18
❯ pyenv global 2.7.18
❯ pyenv global
2.7.18
❯ pyenv version
2.7.18 (set by /Users/jerry/.pyenv/version)可写入 .zshrc 或 .bash_profile 中
❯ echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi' >> ~/.zshrc
❯ echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi' >> ~/.bash_profileCopy
下面需要在 npm install 的时候，使用python2进行编译：
❯ npm config set python /Users/jerry/.pyenv/versions/2.7.18/bin/pythonCopy
大功告成！
