So I'm trying to reinstall python3 using Homebrew on Mac OSX El Capitan Version 10.11.6, but I keep getting errors. The commands I'm using to install python3 are the following:
$ brew install python3
The first command seems to work fine, no errors are thrown.
$ brew linkapps
This second command throws the following errors:
Warning: `brew linkapps` has been deprecated and will eventually be removed!
Unfortunately `brew linkapps` cannot behave nicely with e.g. Spotlight using
either aliases or symlinks and Homebrew formulae do not build "proper" `.app`
bundles that can be relocated. Instead, please consider using `brew cask` and
migrate formulae using `.app`s to casks.

When I try to run $ python3 in terminal, I get the following error:
Failed to import the site module

class RegexFlag(enum.IntFlag):
AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag'
Would love some advice on how to solve this. The goal is that I can install python3 and opencv3 as suggested in this tutorial however I am stuck with python3 not working.
