Python Versions On Mac

I'm working on Mac Os 10.7 (Lion) and I have some questions: What is the pre-installed version of python on Lion? I've been working on this computer for some time now, and i've in

Solution 1:

  1. Lion uses Python 2.7 by default; 2.5 and 2.6 are also available.

  2. /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework does not exist on a stock install of Lion. My guess is that you've ended up with this by installing some application.

  3. The default Python install is primarily installed in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework, although some components are located elsewhere.

  4. Yes - you can brew install python@2 to get a Python 2.7 separate from the system version, or brew install python to get Python 3.7. Both will install to /usr/local, like any other Homebrew recipe.


Solution 2:

  1. I think that is Python 2.7 but you can check typing python on a command terminal. It will tell you the version.
  2. I couldn't tell that you can deleting it, because I don't know what it has... can you give more info about it?
  3. Just type "which python" and it will tell you
  4. You should use virtualenv and pip: http://jontourage.com/2011/02/09/virtualenv-pip-basics/
