New submission from Gilbert Wilson <g...@dropbox.com>: The python-3.6.5-macosx10.6.pkg installs pip3 as pip. This means if you have both python2.7.x and 3.6.x you get unexpected and undesirable behavior. According to the release notes in 3.6.5:
Python 3 and Python 2 Co-existence Python.org Python 3.6 and 2.7.x versions can both be installed on your system and will not conflict. Command names for Python 3 contain a 3 in them, python3 (or python3.6), idle3 (or idle3.6), pip3 (or pip3.6), etc. Python 2.7 command names contain a 2 or no digit: python2 (or python2.7 or python), idle2 (or idle2.7 or idle), etc. The release notes for Python2.7.14 have a similarly worded note on Python 3 and Python 2 co-existence. For both Pythons to properly coexist you must install Python2.7.x after installing Python3.6.x or manually fix the changes that the Python installers make to your ~/.profile PATH environmental variable. $ which pip3 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/pip3 $ ls -l $(dirname $(which pip3)) [SNIP] -rwxr-xr-x 1 gilw admin 263 Apr 16 13:05 pip -rwxr-xr-x 1 gilw admin 263 Apr 16 13:05 pip3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 gilw admin 263 Apr 16 13:05 pip3.6 [SNIP] ---------- components: macOS messages: 315369 nosy: dbxgil, ned.deily, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Python.org macOS pkg installs pip3 as pip versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33290> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
