How to Install Python on Mac OS and How to Run Python code

How to install Python on Mac OS and How to write and execute or run your first Python program on Mac OS will be covered in this video.
We start by installing Python 3 and then go through 3 ways to write and execute Python program on Mac.
3 ways to write and execute Python program covered in this video are:
1. Using IDLE, which is an IDE that comes along with Python installation.
2. Using any text editor (in my case I use Atom) to write python program and then execute the program using Terminal window.
3. By using Visual Studio Code (or simple VS Code), which is considered as one of the best IDE for Python.
Installing Python 3 on Mac can be confusing due to the existence of Python 2 which is preinstalled on all Mac OS. However, Python 2 and Python 3 can co-exist on the same machine hence we do not need to uninstall Python 2 before installing Python 3.
To Install Python 3, there are no prerequisites, and the installation is pretty straight forward.
To run your Python code may be confusing for beginners hence in this video we cover 3 different ways or 3 different editors which can be used to get started with writing and running python code.
When executing python code through IDLE, it’s essential to execute the RUN command from the text editor and then view the output in IDLE interpreter.
Whereas text editor does not have the functionality to run program by itself hence we use Terminal window to run the program.
Visual Studio Code (or simple VS Code) along with PyCharm, Jupiter Notebook and few others are considered as one of the best IDE for Python hence in this video we show how VS Code can be used to write and Run Python program.
The video is aimed at helping beginners to get started with installation of Python programming language on Mac and by showing multiple ways to start writing and executing Python code.

Okay and what I'm going to get if I hit ur like ??? Senseless

[@praveendissanayake2509]

You're literally a lifesaver, dude. Since most python tutorials on the Internet are geared towards Windows users, i was getting confused while trying to start learning python. Love how your video is easy to understand and always to the point. Keep up the good work!! 👍

Thank you Praveen.. glad to read your feedback ❤️

For more than two days I was trying to find how to practice python on idle and this was the only video that helped me. Thanks a lot

[@techTFQ]

Glad it helped:)

[@shabbir.akhtar]

Even though this was 2 years ago, I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this video. I am taking a CS class in college, but I don't know the first thing about it. You are a lifesaver.

[@user-ul7tr1xx6u]

This has been the most impactful & immediately accessible resource I've seen on Python. I was able to follow along & feel like I was really accomplishing something. Amazing. Thank you!

[@luisv8887]

Thank you, not only did you show us how to download it but you showed us a bunch of methods on how to run it, that's awesome.

Oh I was confused out of my mind because the tutorial I found first was telling ‘same like Windows do in McOS’ and it is not the same! This helped very much! Thank you

This was very helpful. I would have taken hours to write my first bit of code if it wasn't for this. I added a comma so the output would be "Good morning, Barry".

[@mayankmishra5549]

Hey thoufiq bhaiyaa I really like your videos and I was recently thinking to start learning phython... I was hoping you could make a tutorial series on python n Django with couple of real world projects and sample projects. Your videos are amazing as always also one more thing which i feel that will look more better and engaging is that whenever you take us to your laptop screen then you can include your front camera on bottom right corner of the screen....I don't know it's just a suggestion and I like that way actually. Also one more suggestions for your upcoming videos.... please share your code somewhere so that if we get stuck anywhere then we can refer it. Thanku and stay safe 😊

[@techTFQ]

Thanks a lot Mayank for liking the video and for your valuable feedback and suggestions... Really appreciate it. Sure, I am planning on Python Tutorial videos in the coming weeks so do stay tuned.. Regarding your other suggestions, I’ll definitely consider it.. Thanks again and happy learning🙂

[@epicgmaer26]

btw to those who don't understand how to use the f keys, simply press the key on the bottom left of your keyboard that says 'fn', then press the f key you want to use so for the 'Run' shortcut I would press fn + f5

Installing python using homebrew is just one of the options but not mandatory.. I hope you were successful in installing python through this video 😀

VS code is trying to download the 'Mac development tools' on my MBP 2013. I dont have the fastest internet so, it was saying something like 94 hours to download it. Do you know if that is a necessary file for VS code to work on python?

[@techTFQ]

I don’t think it’s required.. U just need basic vs code and then install the python extension as I showed in the video
