Install Python package directly for the interpreter Vim is using.md

Sometimes Vim’s Python binary can’t find a package you’ve installed.

• in vim
  :py3 import sys; print(sys.path)

• navigate to that location and find the python binary, in my case:
  cd /usr/local/opt/python@3.8/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin

• install isort using this binary
  ./python3.8 -m pip install isort
