Getting and Installing MacPython
================================
macOS since version 10.8 comes with Python 2.7 pre-installed by Apple. If you wish, you
are invited to install the most recent version of Python 3 from the Python
macOS used to come with Python 2.7 pre-installed between versions
10.8 and `12.3 <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-12_3-release-notes#Python>`_.
You are invited to install the most recent version of Python 3 from the Python
website (https://www.python.org). A current "universal binary" build of Python,
which runs natively on the Mac's new Intel and legacy PPC CPU's, is available
there.
What you get after installing is a number of things:
* A :file:`Python 3.9` folder in your :file:`Applications` folder. In here
* A :file:`Python 3.12` folder in your :file:`Applications` folder. In here
you find IDLE, the development environment that is a standard part of official
Python distributions; and PythonLauncher, which handles double-clicking Python
scripts from the Finder.
