Notes

Note for Macports users: There is a known issue. with Python from macports that makes executables be placed in a location that is not available by default. A simple solution is to extend the PATH environment variable to the location where Python from macports install the binaries. For example, for Python 3.6:

$ export PATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin:$PATH
