That's a thought. I could offer the user the option of either a) automatically installing homebrew and then installing python3 via homebrew, or b) manually downloading and running the python3 installer. > > BTW, you might use curl <url> | bash to get the ball rolling. On that note, is there a fixed url that will always get the latest python3 installer? Of course, I might not want to do that, for example after 3.7 or 4.0 (I know, not for a while) is released, just in case something breaks with a newer release. > > I wouldn't recommend moving from 3.x to 2.x, unless perhaps you use a > common subset. Yeah, that idea kinda left a sour taste in my mouth, but I figured I'd throw it out there as it would solve the python install issue. ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Systems Analyst II Ravn Alaska 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7293 ----------------------------------------------- -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
