    See also python/cpython#148335 to put all the Homebrew deps into a single file, and you can just install that.

    We just need to bikeshed a location :)

    If/once the Brewfile in python/cpython#148335 lands with Linux support, then we can do something about this PR.

    Hi! I checked the linked CPython PR #148335 and confirmed that it has been merged. I'd like to contribute the documentation update for Linux Homebrew build dependencies. Is this issue ready for me to work on? Thanks!

    Hi! I would like to contribute to this issue by updating the documentation for installing CPython build dependencies using Homebrew on Linux.

    I noticed that the related CPython PR mentioned in the discussion has been merged. Is this issue still available to work on?

    I would be happy to work on the documentation changes and submit a pull request. Thank you!
