Python: Fix issue related to Pyenchant with executing linters on Apple Silicons

[dhruv-pratap]

If you are using an M1 Mac to run tox, there is currently an issue with pyenchant that you would run into while running linters. This happens because python distributions installed by pyenv are in the default M1 architecture (aarch64), and can't find a compatible enchant library. As a workaround, you can follow the below steps.

Install enchant with Homebrew

brew install enchant

Set environment variable PYENCHANT_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the installed enchant library before running tox.

export PYENCHANT_LIBRARY_PATH = /opt/homebrew/lib/libenchant-2.dylib

You can set this environment variable in your ~/.zshrc or in your IDE to avoid doing it everytime.

Looks good. Still not sure why at @samredai it worked right away after installing enchant without setting the environment variable.

@samredai are you on M1 as well?

[samredai]

riable.

@samredai are you on M1 as well?

I actually was using an intel macbook when we fixed this (my primary workstation 😄 ). I do have an M1 so I'll try this out there to confirm I get the same issue and I'll try the solution described in this PR.

I have an M1 macbook as well, so I can test this out too. I am still using my Intel macbook as my primary computer while working on migrating to the M1 machine,

Looks like we need to resolve this conflict now that tox has been replace by pre-commit. @Fokko is there a way to pass the PYENCHANT_LIBRARY_PATH to the venv? Would this be done in the Poetry config?

I'm going to close this since it is documentation for tox, but we've switched to using pre-commit and poetry. Thanks, @dhruv-pratap!
