Oh, sure, it's definitely not a good idea to change what the unqualified python binary refers to. But I interpreted "refusing to ship an up-to-date global python interpreter with macOS" as meaning that Python3 isn't shipped at all, with the binary name "python3").
Is that the case? If so, I still don't understand the reasoning.
- mbreese 5y agoI don’t think anything in macOS (the base OS) requires Python, does it? If not, then, I don’t see why Apple would want to ship any Python with the OS. Let people install the Python version they want and then the users will have to maintain it.
- wutbrodo 5y agoThe comment I asked rhe question of said: > the problem is apple. they are (understandably) refusing to ship an up-to-date global python interpreter with macOS Ie the claim is that it's causing a problem for users. I don't have an opinion about this point, but it is the premise of my question.
