Research direction

Start with the installation traceback and the reported Python 3.8 path on macOS Monterey with an M1 Pro. Compare the Command Line Tools installation path with the Homebrew installation result; done means the installer completes without the reported dyld library-loading failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Python 3.8 was installed by Command Line Tools (Xcode)

dyld[58557]: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Python3
  Referenced from: /Users/william.venner/Library/Application Support/pypoetry/venv/bin/Python3
  Reason: tried: '/Users/william.venner/Library/Application Support/pypoetry/venv/bin/../Python3' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/Python3' (no such file), '/usr/lib/Python3' (no such file)

Traceback:

  File "<stdin>", line 892, in main
  File "<stdin>", line 530, in run

Is this a case sensitivity issue?

MacOS Monterey 12.4 on M1 Pro

For anyone stumbling on this

I found installing poetry from homebrew worked fine.
