Description

It would be much easier to install this using homebrew to avoid polluting my day to day system python, it would be walled off over in homebrew. Then I could stop worrying and just brew install gitsome and brew upgrade gitsome and move on with life. I shouldn't need a hypervisor to run a simple command line program.

If I have time I might write the formula myself, this is just a chance for someone else to beat me to it.

Research direction
Read the Homebrew documentation on Python formulas. Analyze the existing Python package structure of gitsome (e.g., setup.py). Create a formula file that calls python setup.py install or uses pip within Homebrew's Python environment. Test the formula locally on macOS. If successful, submit a pull request adding the formula to the Homebrew core or create a custom tap.
