Seriously: what operating systems even still ship with Python 2.7? It's wild to expect Apple to make their default shipped version one from fifteen years ago. It's trivial to install Homebrew if you really need it, and this is something you'll do exactly one time. Python has shipped ten major versions since 2.7, you can't expect Apple to simply never upgrade what they're including by default.
- upbeat_general 5y agoActually python2 has been removed from homebrew (it's possible to still install, you just need a custom tap I believe).
- acranox 5y agoI think CentOS 7 still does.
- oblvious-earth 5y agoPython 2.7 was released on 2010-07-03, the next Python major release after that was Python 3.2 on 2011-02-20, therefore there have been *nine* major releases since Python 2.7: 3.2 to 3.10. Also since Python 2.7 was made EoL there have been 2 major releases: 3.9 and 3.10. It's interesting MacOS will be the only desktop OS used by a significant number of people to type "python" in to the command line after a fresh install and get back an unknown command error.
