Python 2 went away in macOS. Bash still exists.
- pmags 5y agoDid it really? `/usr/bin/python` invokes Python 2.7.18 on my just-bought Macbook Pro 14 running MacOS 12.2. Maybe that's because I installed the Xcode command line tools?
- laserlight 5y agoIIRC, Apple announced that Python 2 will be removed in a future version of macOS, without specifying a version. Looks like they removed it in macOS 12.3 [0].

- kafkaIncarnate 5y agohttps://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/ https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/ There's still a macOS installer for the latest release of Python2.7 (4/20/2020).
- laserlight 5y agoThe discussion was around longevity, and Python 2 is dead as of January 2020 [0]. Installer might exist, but it has already become more difficult to maintain Python 2. It will become even more difficult in time. Bash, on the other hand, will more likely to be around for longer.
