As the question title says, facing the below error. using Mac.

how can I install python with homebrew again not with building from source?

Even though I deleted python@3.8 from homebrew, when I type which python3 there's still python3 here /usr/local/bin/python3. is this meaning that I haven't used python installed from homebrew?.

python@3.8: no bottle available!
You can try to install from source with e.g.
  brew install --build-from-source python@3.8
Please note building from source is unsupported. You will encounter build
failures with some formulae. If you experience any issues please create pull
requests instead of asking for help on Homebrew's GitHub, Twitter or any other
official channels.
homebrew python

homebrew only supports the latest three macOS (which are mojave, catalina, and big_sur), the bottles are listed in here. You can also see Apple Silicon version there as well.

So if you are on the latest homebrew-core, you can only install from bottles with those three OSX.

I encountered the same issue. I ran xcode-select --install. This installed the CLT for my mac. Then I was able to install python3 by running xcode-select --install
