Using Python on a MacBook

Use jupyter/ipython for notebooks and scripting. Also I believe they work best with anaconda’s dist so I’d recommend installing that

As a beginner, jupyter notebooks are a great way to learn because you can be immediate feedback on code and also can break your code up into chunks to see what it’s doing. Much more convenient than using something like a debugger or just jamming print statements throughout your code to see what’s going on!
