Does anyone know what we would need to do to get Python in the Apple
application store as a free App?
The default security settings on OS X 10.8 block the installation of the
DMG (or any software downloaded outside the app store). A number of my students are having difficulty getting around it will help.
If we were in the app store, installation and upgrade would be a piece of
cake. If you need another option, you could try installing Python via Homebrew ( http://brew.sh ). Homebrew itself is also easy to install. (Although admittedly I haven't tried Homebrew's Python, but my experience with their other packages has been good.) Cheers, Chris
