@ -12,10 +12,11 @@ Homebrew provides formulae to brew 3.x and a more up-to-date Python 2.7.x.
Homebrew provides one formula for Python 3.x (`python`) and another for Python 2.7.x (`python@2`).
The executables are organized as follows so that Python 2 and Python 3 can both be installed without conflict:
* `python` and `python3` point to Homebrew's Python 3.x (if installed) otherwise the macOS system Python
* `python3` points to Homebrew's Python 3.x (if installed)
* `python2` points to Homebrew's Python 2.7.x (if installed)
* `pip` and `pip3` point to Homebrew's Python 3.x's pip (if installed)
* `pip2` points to Homebrew's Python 2.7.x's pip (if installed)
* `python` points to Homebrew's Python 2.7.x (if installed) otherwise the macOS system Python. Check out `brew info python` if you wish to add Homebrew's 3.x `python` to your `PATH`.
* `pip3` points to Homebrew's Python 3.x's pip (if installed)
* `pip` and `pip2` point to Homebrew's Python 2.7.x's pip (if installed)
