Homebrew cannot find installed command line tools

I have installed command line tools through Xcode. When I ran xcode-select -p, its showed /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer.

However, when I ran brew config, it showed CLT: N/A. And when I updated python using brew, it showed Warning: Building python from source: The bottle needs the Apple Command Line Tools to be installed.

If you've installed the standalone version of the CLI tools (and don't have the full xcode application):

sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

For the same dependency issue above, xcode-select --install and clicking "Install" on the pop-up fixes this in MacOS Catalina. Once complete, you can confirm it by typing xcode-select -v in the terminal and the output should look similar to this

Use sudo xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app to specify the Xcode that you wish to use for command line developer tools, or use xcode-select --install to install the standalone command line developer tools.

As xcode-select --install did not solve the issue for me:

I had to run brew doctor which listed Warning: Some installed formula are missing dependencies. including a brew install command to fix these. After running that, brew config reported CLT no longer as N/A.

I've got the same issue just now. Running xcode-select --install to reinstall Command Line Tools worked for me, brew config now reports CLT: 7.3.1.0.1.1461711523.
