That dmg does not include python bindings, so the answer to your question is "No, Homebrew does not include python. You would need to clozapine GnuCash yourself."

Since Mac is still using Python 2.7, but Catalina is coming up and that includes Python 3.x. So I’m looking over what I use and what I don’t among my decades of scripts. Last I looked, pretty much every system like that usurped the originals. At the time, when I looked them over, it became clear to me why they did that and it made sense. But, again, that decision was something like 10 years ago and I haven’t had time or cause to revisit it - until now. Do you know if Homebrew can provide the Python bindings for GC?
