Error installing Python 3 with Homebrew

I'm having trouble when I want to install Python 3 using Homebrew.

This is my console:

$ brew install python3

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Thanks.

Try running:

If Homebrew was updated on Aug 10-11th 2016 and brew update always says Already up-to-date you need to run: 

cd "$(brew --repo)" && git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master && brew update

You are using an old version of Homebrew. The patch file that's failing to download was removed from the recipe in September 2016, and the warning about macOS 10.12 being a "pre-release version" is clearly no longer correct.

Run brew update and try again.
