I'd like to install QGIS. I'm on a system that defaults to Python 2.5x and I downloaded python 3.7x with homebrew. I created a virtual environment with this code.

brew install pyenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenv
exec $SHELL
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
pyenv activate my-virtualenv

I install python 3.6 and the modules plotly, numpy, pygments, psycopg2, owslib, and PyYaml.

Each of them are confined to the virtual environment. How do I install the package so that it loads and uses the Python from only the partcular environment.

Go Docker!

I would suggest to use a containerized solution.

You can for example run a full-fledge, stand-alone QGIS in a Docker container; it is very simple!

Start here and customize the environment editing the file Dockerfile.

At the time of writing, QGIS 3.4.x (LTS) and QGIS 3.8.x (latest) are supported.

QGIS on Docker

Disclaimer: I maintain both the repositories above :D

    Worked like a charm, thanks! Note to users: the data files all have to be under ~/qgis34-files. Drag-drop from elsewhere won't work. – Nikhil VJ Jul 10 '19 at 10:11
  • Please note that as of today, also version 3.8 (aka "latest") is available, both on GitHub and as an automated image on DockerHub ;) – RafDouglas Jul 10 '19 at 14:41
