It's not set; I'm not sure what the Homebrew version would look like,
but it's probably like /Library/Frameworks. And I left out Current,
which chooses between e.g. 3.8, 3.9.

libpython := '';
find_libpython:
for top in $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Frameworks, /Library/Frameworks loop
   if exists $top/Python then
      libpython := $top/Python/Versions/Current/lib/libpython*.dylib;
      exit find_libpython;
   end if;
end loop find_libpython;
fail if libpython is still ''

There is another macOS package manager, MacPorts, but I've settled on
Homebrew.
