They may not work though, depending on whether they rely on old python2 syntax or names./usr/lib/linuxmint/mintMenu/pointerMonitor.py still calls for /usr/lib/python. That's probably an oversight. Or maybe it's just a library imported by another python program that does call python3, so the #! line is never used.Yes, I don't use Homebrew anymore, so I used that instead:
