The worst thing about Python is the 2/3 split. When they decided to launch Python 3 they should have named it Beansprout or something else. I've just been investigating how to install Python 3 'properly' on Mac OS. Seemingly I should install some weird version of gcc (or maybe Xcode at a pinch) then install Homebrew to install some package which will allow me to install and compile some utility that lets me dynamically switch between the antique system Python (so old it no longer gets security updates) which will cause all hell to break loose if it isn't there, and the one I should be using.
A good language, but life's too short!
