I tried to install "Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit installer"

The package has been downloaded, but failed in the last step of the deployment. The message is "No software found to install". Please check attached image.

I tried this on two different mac machine, got the same result.

Screenshot of failed installation of Python 2.7.3 on Mac OS

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

I used homebrew to install latest python2:
brew install python@2

and to upgrade:
brew upgrade python@2

This does not replace the system version as that might cause problems.

So, entering:

• python - gives me the system installed python 2.7.10
  
• python2 - gives me the latest 2.7.15
  
• python3 - gives me 3.6.5
  
• python37 - gives me 3.7
  

I've not seen the problem you've encountered. Sorry.

We are using Leap Motion, one of its library points to mac framework python27. And leap motion software only supports 2.7.3.

Who do I need to contact to have the mac installation package for 2.7.3 fixed?

Thanks.
