Jul 09, 2020 Key terms¶. Pip is the preferred installer program. Starting with Python 3.4, it is included by default with the Python binary installers. A virtual environment is a semi-isolated Python environment that allows packages to be installed for use by a particular application, rather than being installed system wide. Venv is the standard tool for creating virtual environments, and has been part. Trying to install Python 3.2.3 (used in course) 64-bit on OSX 10.11.1, but running the dmg produces a msg saying the installation failed as it could not find the software to install. What goes wrong? Have installed python previously (other versions and on earlier.
After some searches in different forums on the web, where I did not found a solution but several people with the same problem, I remembered something I read before while creating an own installer for another project with Apple Package Maker. The Apple installer searches the /Library/Receipts directory for existing older packages of the same software that should be installed.
The final solution to the problem was to completely delete all similar packages (in my case the packages for iWork, Pages and 'Keynote) from the Receipts folder. Obviously, there had been some older versions of iWork installed before, but they were deleted out of the Applications folder. Hopefully this hint will save some of you some valuable time in similar cases.
[robg adds: We've run some previous hints on removing specific items from the /Library/Receipts folder, but we've never run a general hint on the subject. So I thought I'd use this one as the general tip, too -- if you're having trouble re-installing something that was installed via the Apple Installer, check the Receipts folder. If you find a folder there for the app in question, move it somewhere safe (just in case!), then re-run the troublesome installer. If it works, trash the moved receipt. If it doesn't work, then there are other things going on...]

How to install Python on Windows
Unfortunately, Python doesn’t come on Windows. If you’re running Windows, then you need to download and install Python by following the instructions here. Installing Python on Windows isn’t difficult. If you can download a file from a website, you have the skills to install Python.
Fortunately, the Python Foundation (the peeps who guide the development of Python) makes installable files available from its website.
Firefox and Internet Explorer responded differently to the Python download website, so the instructions are based on which of these browsers you use. If you use a whole other browser altogether, try the Internet Explorer instructions.
Installing with Firefox
To install Python on a Windows machine with Firefox, follow these steps:
Visit www.python.org/downloads.
Click the button that says Download Python 2.7.9.
Or, if it’s there, click a more recent version number that starts with 2.7.
Clicking this button automatically downloads and saves an msi file for you. If not, try the instructions for Internet Explorer. See Figure 1.

Click the file called python-2.7.9.msi (or the more recent version, if you downloaded one).
Python 2.7.9 installs on your computer.
Installing with Internet Explorer
To install Python on a Windows machine with Internet Explorer, follow these steps:
Visit www.python.org/downloads.
From the menu bar, select Downloads→Windows.
You can see the menu options in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Download Python with Internet Explorer.” width=”535″/>Scroll down to the heading Python 2.7.9-2014-12-10.
Or scroll to a more recent version, which starts with Python 2.7, if one is available.
Under this heading, click the link titled Download Windows x86 MSI Installer.
See Figure 3. This is a link for a 32-bit installation, which makes things work better with third-party libraries. Use the 32-bit installer even if you have a 64-bit machine and even if you have no idea what this paragraph is talking about.

If you’re asked to choose whether to run or save the file, choose Run.
This downloads python2.7.9.msi and starts running the installer.
If you get a security warning when the installer begins (or at random times during the installation), choose Run.
Accept the default installation options that the installer provides.

How to install Python for Linux
If you’re running Linux, confirm that you have version 2.7.9 of Python installed, rather than version 3. This shouldn’t be a problem because Python 2.7 is installed by default in recent versions of OpenSuSE, Ubuntu, and Red Hat Fedora.
Mac Install Python 3.7
In the nutty odd case when someone has Python 3 but not Python 2.7, read your distribution’s documentation for how to use the package manager and get Python 2.7 and IDLE.
