How to Install Python on a Mac

A little over a year ago I was struggling with python related to packaging and managing my own dependencies. I found a blog post called "Relieving your Python packaging pain"[0] that piqued my interest with its simplicity. A couple of days later, the author released another post called "Why not tell people to 'simply' use pyenv, poetry, pipx, or anaconda"[1], which included the how-to steps outlined in their first post, and generated a sizeable discussion[2] on HN. Being on a Mac, this really has made things so much easier for me. I'm not a professional developer by any means, but more like a hobbiest+ as I make things to help automate away some pain points within the small company I work for.

I think teaching sites should do better than just saying you should use tool X. It is much better to teach why. Also Rye delegates tasks to uv. I'd rathe ruse that tool directly.
