CaveatsA "distutils.cfg" has been written to: $HOMEBREW_CELLAR/pypy/7.3.23/libexec/lib-python/2.7/distutils specifying the install-scripts folder as: $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/share/pypy If you install Python packages via "pypy setup.py install", easy_install_pypy, or pip_pypy, any provided scripts will go into the install-scripts folder above, so you may want to add it to your PATH *after* $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/bin so you don't overwrite tools from CPython. Setuptools and pip have been installed, so you can use easy_install_pypy and pip_pypy. These are now managed by the formula and should not be modified.
