[issue43168] macOS python install shares /usr/local with homebrew and can conflict

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at python.org> added the comment:

On the Installation Type -> Customize window in the installer, there is an explanation of a package when you can click on it. For Unix command-line tools package, the explanation (at the bottom of the window) is:

"This package installs the unix tools in /usr/local/bin for compatibility with older releases of Python. This package is not necessary to use Python."

This also appears in the output from the installer command-line tool.
