pip is installed by default on mac and linux. For non posix experienced users, pip installing packages is actually easier than figuring out how to put a binary on the path. Not to mention, updates are just a command, you dont have to go find the url, redownload, and replace the binary.
- solosoyokaze 6y agoRealistically speaking people will most likely install cli tools with brew on mac. People shouldn’t be pip installing things without virtualenv anyway.

- zaphirplane 6y agoI thought macOS stopped shipping with python
- em500 6y agoPip is not installed by default on macOS, and even python itself will be removed in some future version.
