How to install Python on a Mac
#1
Hi there,

I've been trying to install Python on my Mac for quite sometime - without success.

First, I downloaded the official file from python.org and installed it.

Then, I learned about the various versions and the issues related to that and came across this guide ("doing it right"), installed homebrew, python and pyenv. Worked out fine, I could install the modules I needed, however, I could not get IDLE to run because of this error message: "IDLE can't import Tkinter".

I learned about the issues related to that and gave up the idea of installing things via homebrew. Went back to the official download from python.org, installed it, IDLE is there, however, now I am wondering how do I install the modules I need to work with this particular version.

Any ideas? Any thoughts? Any advice?

Thank you.
