Hi, I am for the first time installing Python on a Mac running OS 12.6 (Monterey). The Install package nicely put a Python folder in my Applications file and presumable distributed many other things around. I had to go to a third-party site to discover that python is actually in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framwork…. So right now, not having done anything, when I open a Mac terminal window and type python or python -V, it still thinks I have no version installed. You’d think, wouldn’t you, that the installer would at least have put a link in one of the directories in the default PATH? But failing that your documentation needs to suggest how you get the Terminal to recognize that Python has been installed. And maybe to discuss IDLE, which is another totally new thing to me, but appears to be your alternative to running python from the Terminal?? At least tell me that, if that is true! I am not a developer! I know Mac OS is not everyone’s favorite operating system (and maybe some day I’ll manage to move myself on to Linux; Windows is out of the question) but for now, an awful lot of people live on Macs.
