Ran commands:

`brew install asciinema` and then `asciinema rec`

Got error:

/usr/local/bin/asciinema: /usr/local/Cellar/asciinema/2.0.1/libexec/bin/asciinema: /usr/local/opt/python/bin/python3.6: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Looks to me as if you don’t have python3.6 installed or its not at the location its should be…

does this file exist and had read/exec permissions?  
/usr/local/opt/python/bin/python3.6

Have you sorted it out? It seems to me it’s some homebrew/python installation issue.

I’m hitting this issue too

```

```

Any suggestions how to fix this? Not sure why/how it’s looking for Python 3.7

```

Fix:

```auto
brew uninstall --force asciinema
brew install --build-from-source asciinema

```

Now works.
