<h2 id=divingin>Diving In</h2>
<p class=f>Welcome to Python 3. Let's dive in. In this chapter, you'll install the version of Python 3 that's right for you.
<p class=f>Before you can start programming in Python 3, you need to install it. Or do you?
<h2 id=which>Which Python Is Right For You?</h2>
<p>The first thing you need to do with Python is install it. Or do you?
<p>If you're using an account on a hosted server, your <abbr>ISP</abbr> may have already installed Python 3. If you&#8217;re running Linux at home, you may already have Python 3, too. Most popular GNU/Linux distributions come with Python 2 in the default installation; a small but growing number of distributions also include Python 3. Mac OS X includes a command-line version of Python 2, but as of this writing it does not include Python 3. Microsoft Windows does not come with any version of Python. But don&#8217;t despair! You can point-and-click your way through installing Python, regardless of what operating system you have.
<p>The easiest way to check for Python 3 on your Linux or Mac OS X system is to get to a command line. On Linux, look in your <b><code>Applications</code></b> menu for a program called <b><code>Terminal</code></b>. (It may be in a submenu like <b><code>Accessories</code></b> or <b><code>System</code></b>.) On Mac OS X, there is an application called <b><code>Terminal.app</code></b> in your <code>/Application/Utilities/</code> folder.
