∟Run Python Scripts on macOS

This section provides notes to verify Python version supported on macOS and run a simple Python interactive scripting session.

Python is becoming a popular scripting language for scientific applications now. macOS supports Python out-of-the-box. You don't have to do any installation.

You can start a Terminal window and try to run Python scripts interactively as shown below: 

herong$ python --version
Python 2.7.10

herong$ python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Feb  6 2017, 23:53:20)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.34)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> print "Hello world!\n"
Hello world!

>>> exit()

Note that you need to call the "exit()" function to terminate the Python interactive session.
