前言：mac系统自带python，不过以当前mac系统的最新版本为例，自带的python版本都是2.版本，虽然不影响老版本项目的运行，但是python最新的3.版本的一些语法与2.*版本并不相同，网上的教程大神们也肯定都更新出了最新版的教程，我们不论是学习还是使用，当然用最新版会更好一点。
1、在安装最新版Python3.*之前，我们先熟悉一下系统自带的python。
Mac系统自带python路径为／System／Library／Frameworks／Python.framework/Version,我们先来打开目录看一下：
／System／Library／Frameworks／Python.framework/Version,我们先来打开目录看一下：
open /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
我们看到这里有多个python版本，而在Current目录下存放的是系统当前的python版本。
mac既然自带了python，当然肯定配置好了python的全局命令，我们直接在终端运行：
python
运行正常。到这里也差不多对mac系统自带的python有所了解，接下来我们开始安装最新版本的python。
2、开始安装(这里我们使用神器homebrew，还不熟悉此神器的小伙伴请自行百度，也可点击链接直接前往下载)
安装前先搜索一下是否已经存在python3的包：
brew search python3
已经存在，我们可以直接安装了：
brew install python3

This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because this formula is mainly used internally by other formulae.
Users are advised to use pip to install sphinx-doc.

Error: An unexpected error occurred during the brew link step
brew link
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks
Error: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks
所有的包都下载完毕，但是我们却发现最后报了两条错误，大概意思是公式已经建立，但是在创建连接的时候因为没有权限而发生意外错误。在报错信息里我们看到一个目录/usr/local/Frameworks，我们先去找一下这个目录：
open /usr/local/Frameworks
发现这个目录竟然不存在，那我们就来手动创建一个：
sudo mkdir /usr/local/Frameworks
创建好目录之后，再来解决权限问题：
sudo chown $(whoami):admin /usr/local/Frameworks
不报错即为修改成功，修改好权限之后，还需要手动执行一下安装时未完成的创建连接：
brew link python3
连接成功。咱们来查看一下当前系统下的python3的信息：
brew info python3
发现python3被安装到了/usr/local/bin/python3目录下，有兴趣的小伙伴自行前往查看想过配置文件。
到这里python3的安装就算完成了，不过可能有小伙伴已经发现，不管是在终端运行python -V查看版本号还是直接运行python启动python命令行模式，默认的python版本还是系统自带的2.版本。其实这时候只运行命令时需要把python改为python3就行了，当然，有兴趣的小伙伴也可以尝试配置一下默认版本，把当前系统的默认版本修改为3.版本。知乎上已经贴出了各种各样的方法，我这里就不多做赘述了。
