Closed sudoer-Huatao closed 1 year ago
@sudoer-Huatao Mac comes usually with the 2 Python versions pre-installed which are not recommended to work with, those are system versions. If you already downloaded a Python version from somewhere it could lead to a mess unfortunately due to different versions on the systems and depending on the path which has been configured.
Therefore, I highly recommend before you start any projects to learn about pyenv
a manager to avoid that and handle multiple Python versions on your machine in a clean not-conflicting way. Please have a look for example here: https://realpython.com/intro-to-pyenv/

Ok, I think that solves the problem. Thanks a lot! :)
I am a Mac user, and typing
python
in the console (Mac terminal) doesn't activate the Python Shell (I used the official python.org shell, newest version). But typingpython3
instead DOES work.Can anybody please clarify for which Mac versions support the
python
command and which versions supportpython3
instead? Or is it just because thepython
command in the console is only limited to Python 2 versions?
