Installing Error - Python 2.7.8 - saranana - Jun-03-2020 Hi hi! I'm trying to teach myself python using a somewhat outdated book. Im just going through it to get a handle on some of the basics but this book in particular requires Python version 2.7.8. I have followed the installation instructions but I am receiving an error message: "The installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install". I have not been able to find a solution to this error message online. I am running Mac OS High Sierra. I have seen online that some are suggesting to install specifically using the python installer, and ensuring that the python installer is used by right clicking and manually selecting it. I have already done this as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! RE: Installing Error - Python 2.7.8 - DT2000 - Jun-04-2020 Python 2.7 is no longer supported so I am curious why you would be trying to learn python with outdated material and writing methods? You should be attempting to learn Python 3.x RE: Installing Error - Python 2.7.8 - pyzyx3qwerty - Jun-04-2020
