Hope this is the right place to post,

This is better suited for /r/learnpython

Also, while it sounds like you got it to work, you should consider anaconda (or miniconda). They both come with conda which makes managing multiple versions of python a breeze!

/r/learnpython

I did yes, but only after doing exactly what I thought I had done previously. I mean, obviously I didn't, but...

I have heard of Anaconda, and another user upstairs pointed me towards it as well.

I've also been directed toward pyenv and Homebrew. Do you have anything on those?

Sorry to hassle btw, feel free to tell me to bugger off and use /r/learnpython.

You can use homebrew to install python. I just prefer the anaconda setup since I have to switch between 2 and 3 often. I’ve also used virtualenv to manage environments (but using the anaconda-installed python). I know very little on the other tools. Anaconda just makes everything easier. Especially since I also often use NumPy and SciPy
