But they don’t show up in deps here below. Is there some other way to get them installed? I’m pretty sure (multiple sources) said to use brew to install, and it looks like they are. So why don’t they show in deps?

I have tried reinstalling the brew formulae for these extensions, and also tried using a virtual environment for python3 to run mopidy in. Unfortunately mopidy doesn’t run in the virtual envrionment:
$ mopidy
ERROR: A GObject based library was not found.
Mopidy requires GStreamer to work. GStreamer is a C library with a
number of dependencies itself, and cannot be installed with the regular
Python tools like pip.
Please see https://docs.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/ for
instructions on how to install the required dependencies.
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'
So going back to the mopidy installed with brew that mostly works, I tried installing an extension with pip3. This is the new python3 push for the virtual environment that I often use but here I’m stuck I think because some things are brew installed (main mopidy) and some then in the virtual env are installed with pip3.
So should I uninstall all of brew mopidy?
$ pip3 install Mopidy-Local
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try brew install
xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a Python library that isn't in Homebrew,
use a virtual environment:
python3 -m venv path/to/venv
source path/to/venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install xyz
If you wish to install a Python application that isn't in Homebrew,
it may be easiest to use 'pipx install xyz', which will manage a
virtual environment for you. You can install pipx with
brew install pipx
You may restore the old behavior of pip by passing
the '--break-system-packages' flag to pip, or by adding
'break-system-packages = true' to your pip.conf file. The latter
will permanently disable this error.
If you disable this error, we STRONGLY recommend that you additionally
pass the '--user' flag to pip, or set 'user = true' in your pip.conf
file. Failure to do this can result in a broken Homebrew installation.
Read more about this behavior here: <https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/>
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
