- frizlab 1y agoWhy? Installing python and php can be done in 2 seconds with brew, and you have control over what you install instead of using whatever is in the system, with deprecated versions, etc. It is actually much better now. System tool should be left to the system.
- est 1y agoif you install commandline tools there's /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/
- wiseowise 1y agoVirtually zero professional developers that I know use built in Python or PHP. Maybe it’s good enough for occasional scripting purposes, though.
- stby 1y agoI much prefer installing it myself, with the required version for my project and at a known and common location.
- oneeyedpigeon 1y agoThat's fair enough. It may be less of an issue for experienced developers, but for those looking to learn the craft, it's one more barrier.
- comradesmith 1y agoI think it’s better for developers to not have conflicting system distributions. Though for a while there having built in interpreters was great for kids and learners.
