pyenv install 3.12.2 # Replace with latest pyenv global 3.12.2 python --version
Upgrading Python on a Mac can be a straightforward process if you choose the right method. The official Python installer is easy to use but may require manual configuration. Homebrew and pyenv offer more flexibility and ease of use, but may have compatibility issues. Based on our review, we recommend using Homebrew for upgrading Python on a Mac, as it provides a good balance between ease of use and flexibility.
While downloading the installer seems like the intuitive "Windows-style" approach, on macOS, it often leads to multiple conflicting versions, broken symlinks, and PATH issues.
python3 --version which python3
brew install pyenv pyenv install 3.12.2 # (Or whatever latest version is current) pyenv global 3.12.2
pyenv install 3.12.2 # Replace with latest pyenv global 3.12.2 python --version
