Geeking out w my Macbook Pro 2014, which I barely ever configured beyond basics. Have to admit there's decent coding potential w elegant tools (Homebrew etc.), but GNUtils > BSDutils & the Python schism just sux
System Python vs Brew / Anaconda / what have you Pythons. Let alone the 2 vs 3 schism in general. I never really coded on Python per se, but had to live with it for ~2 decades on Linux

I see. An issue for me in the past, too. With brew it’s easy peasy, can’t really complain. I don’t use coda ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tbh, I'm afraid to install Python using Brew. Using system one for now, although I had to finesse setting up pip already. Also pondering on whether to go full GNUtils http://www.nyx.net/~mlu/pages/computing/installing_and_configuring/installing_and_configuring_command-line_utilities/ …

Dont be imo - installs in different dir and creates new symlinks. $ python --version 2.7.x $ python2.7 $ python3 --version 3.6.x

Heh, see what I mean, I've been dreading the symlink hell. Already confused about where the various nifty pkg managers install stuff (eg. pip install --user)

With brew python you only have pip3 then. Pip doesn’t come preinstalled to python 2.x. $ pip3 --version pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)

No pip3, just this one (which I brew-installed, I guess?)pic.twitter.com/APSOSQ4pIn

Yes, you can standalone brew pip for python 2.7 but iirc pip comes with python 3.x bundled - that’s the diff. So assuming a clean new machine w python 2.7 + brew python3 then you only have pip3.

New personal projects I write in Python 3.x. Existing Python projects (personal/research) are in 2.7. In that case I create virtual environments with specified python version
