Python is a versatile programming language that can be used for many different programming projects. First published in 1991 with a name inspired by the British comedy group Monty Python, the development team wanted to make Python a language that was fun to use. Easy to set up, and written in a relatively straightforward style with immediate feedback on errors, Python is a great choice for beginners and experienced developers alike. Python 3 is the most current version of the language and is considered to be the future of Python.
This tutorial will guide you through installing Python 3 on your local macOS machine and setting up a programming environment via the command line.

Hi Lisa - thanks for penning this clean documentation.
I ran into one issue though. When i install “brew install python3” - for some reason I am getting python 3.5.2 instead of 3.6.3.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44232913/why-cant-i-install-python-3-6-with-homebrew
Any suggestions?
source my_env/bin/activate
It is not compatible with fish or other type of shell. If you is under fish, use:
source my_env/bin/activate.fish
thanks for the tutorial. how would i run python3 via a web page locally on my computer? i have it working with the shebang line #!/usr/bin/python but if i try to change it to #!/usr/bin/python3 i get an internal server error. is there a way of running a form that calls a python3 script in my_env? i need to have it import some python modules too. thanks.
Thank you for this. Nice and clean. Would you be able to point me to other tutorials which would talk about the order to install Miniconda, Jupyter, and other machine learning related tools? The order and general organization and aliasing for 2.7 and 3 would be appreciated.
Thank you Lisa. Your article helped answer so many questions I had for some time now. I appreciate the time you took to deliver a tutorial on how to set up a Python environment on macOS.
