For those of us odd ones…

True, but python comes preinstalled on macs

Isn't Ruby also included by default?

No the opposite is true - Python does not come preinstalled, but Ruby does.

    chrisseaton@Chriss-MacBook-Pro ~ % python --version
    zsh: command not found: python
    chrisseaton@Chriss-MacBook-Pro ~ % ruby --version
    ruby 2.6.8p205 (2021-07-07 revision 67951) [universal.arm64e-darwin21]

The name has changed:

  ᐅ /usr/bin/python3 --version
  Python 3.8.9

As mentioned in another thread: not anymore.
