+<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.
+
+<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 ISP may have already installed Python 3. Most popular GNU/Linux distributions come with Python 2 in the default installation; a small but growing number of distributions also include Python 3. (As you&#8217;ll see in this chapter, you can have more than one version of Python installed on your computer.) Mac OS X includes a command-line version of Python 2, although you'll probably want to install a version that includes a more Mac-like graphical interface.
+<p>Windows does not come with any version of Python, but don&#8217;t despair!  There are several ways to point-and-click your way to Python on Windows.
+<p>What's more, Python programs written on one platform can run on <em>any</em> supported platform. For instance, I regularly develop Python programs on Windows and later deploy them on Linux.
+<p>So back to the question that started this section, &#8220;Which Python is right for you?&#8221;  The answer is whichever one runs on the computer you already have.
