Python from Python.org on Mac

Notes

  • Look for Python in
    • /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/
  • Sometimes, /usr/local/bin/python? can be a symlink to Python in one of the above locations.
    • Why sometimes, thats because any other installation can end up overwrite the symlink in /usr/local/bin/python? with something else.
  • /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python? can be a symlink to Python in one of the above locations.
  • Version
    • Extract the version of Python from the patchlevel.h file from the entry #define PY_VERSION
    • These files are located in <sys prefix>/include/patchlevel.h or <sys prefix>/Headers/patchlevel.h
