The pip command is the default package manager specifically for Python packages. You do not want the Mac OS X 'default Python' to be 'python3.' You want to never. Mac OS X comes with Python 2.7 out of the box. You do not need to install or configure anything else to use Python 2. These instructions document the installation of Python 3. The version of Python that ships with OS X is great for learning, but it’s not good for development.
OS X (Mavericks) has Python 2.7 stock installed. But I do all my own personal Python stuff with 3.3. I just flushed my 3.3.2 install and installed the new 3.3.3. So I need to install pyserial
again. I can do it the way I’ve done it before, which is:
- Download pyserial from pypi
- untar pyserial.tgz
- cd pyserial
python3 setup.py install
But I’d like to do like the cool kids do, and just do something like pip3 install pyserial
. But it’s not clear how I get to that point. And just that point. Not interested (unless I have to be) in virtualenv yet.
UPDATE: This is no longer necessary with Python3.4. It installs pip3 as part of the stock install.
I ended up posting this same question on the python mailing list, and got the following answer:
Which solved my question perfectly. After adding the following for my own:
So that I could run pip directly, I was able to:
or:
I had to go through this process myself and chose a different way that I think is better in the long run.
Pip Upgrade Mac
I installed homebrew
then:
The last step gives you some warnings and errors that you have to resolve. One of those will be to download and install the Mac OS X command-line tools.
Update microsoft office for mac os mojave. Update Office from the Mac App Store. If you downloaded Office from the Mac App Store, and have automatic updates turned on, your apps will update automatically. But you can also manually download the updates: Open the Mac App Store from your Dock or Finder.
then:
This gave me python3
and pip3
in my path.
Install Python3 on mac
Use pip3
to install modules
🙂
Plus:
when you install requests with python3, the command is:
not
To use Python EasyInstall (which is what I think you’re wanting to use), is super easy!
so then with pip to install Pyserial you would do:
Also, it’s worth to mention that Max OSX/macOS users can just use Homebrew to install pip3.
On MacOS 10.12
download pip: pip as get-pip.py
download python3: python3
- install python3
- open terminal:
python3 get-pip.py
pip3
is available
Pip.conf Mac Os
brew install python3
create alias in your shell profile
- eg.
alias pip3='python3 -m pip'
in my.zshrc
- eg.
➜ ~ pip3 –version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)
Upgrade Pip Mac Os
