I'm not a Mac user so don;t know for sure what the installer does.
However, Python is normally a command-line interpreter without a GUI.
Try opening your terminal application and typing python.
You should see something fairly similar to:
Python 3.8.10 (default, Sep 28 2021, 16:10:42)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>>
If the version corresponds to the one you installed then
everything is probably as it should be.
If not copy 'n paste the command and error message into a mail and
hopefully one of our mac users can help.
