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
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
-
So what you're saying is that if I don't have any legacy stuff, I can safely brew install 3.x & use it for any & all environmental purposes? (Won't necessarily code in Python)
-
Ah sry just saw this. Yes p much. Even if you have legacy projects that rely on 2.x, brew install python3 doesn’t overwrite existing/native macOS python installation. (Can’t / shouldn’t as macOS is relying on 2.7.x.)
