Let's install a real version of Python.
Before installing Python, you'll need to install a C compiler. A compiler can be
obtained by downloading `Xcode <http://developer.apple.com/xcode/>`_, the
smaller `Command Line Tools <https://developer.apple.com/downloads/>`_ (must
have an Apple account) or the even smaller `OSX-GCC-Installer <https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer#readme>`_
Before installing Python, you'll need to install a C compiler. The fastest way
is to install the Xcode Command Line Tools by running
``xcode-select --install``. You can also download the full version of
`Xcode <http://developer.apple.com/xcode/>`_ from the Mac App Store, or the
minimal but unofficial
`OSX-GCC-Installer <https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer#readme>`_
package.
.. note::
If you already have Xcode installed, do not install OSX-GCC-Installer.
In combination, the software can cause issues that are difficult to
diagnose.
If you already have Xcode installed or plan to use Homebrew, do not install
OSX-GCC-Installer. In combination, the software can cause issues that are
difficult to diagnose.
While OS X comes with a large number of UNIX utilities, those familiar with
Linux systems will notice one key component missing: a decent package manager.
