[QGIS-Developer] Any plan for alternates to Python 3.6 dependency on macOS QGIS 3?

Hi, folks,

Longtime QGIS user but recent listserv subscriber here with a question
about macOS installs of QGIS 3.x. I could not find this question in recent
archives, so here goes:

When I installed QGIS 3.x recently on macOS Mojave, the required Python 3.6
install from Python.org severely mucked up my existing Homebrew Python 3.
I've discussed similar issues with colleagues who've experienced the same.

I'm curious whether it's possible to direct QGIS 3 to reference an existing
Python 3 install other than the one from Python.org? Would this be possibly
considered as a new feature, if not?

Beyond that, if anyone has found a good guide to managing Homebrew Python
alongside the Python.org install, I'd appreciate that.

I've been told that installing QGIS 3 via Homebrew is also an alternative,
but I haven't tried and would appreciate thoughts there.

Thanks,
Anthony DeBarros
