Python

Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. MAMP PRO installs Python in your /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/python directory. MAMP PRO does not make any changes to the Python build that is pre-installed on your Mac. The Python build provided by Apple is installed in /usr/bin/python.

  Enable this option to make the current Python version available on the command line. MAMP PRO uses an alias to provide this. When this option is enabled, the following is added to your ~/.profile file. If a “.zprofile” file exists, the “.profile” content will be added to it.

```
  Confirm your Python is enabled by typing python -V in a new Terminal window.
