It's likely clearer to say Python on macOS today, so that's likely a worthwhile update.\r\n- It refers to IDLE as \"IDE\". :)\r\n- It suggests doing `python setup.py install`, something that [the setuptools developers actively discourage and want users to move away from](https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html).\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/pradyunsg","@type":"Person","name":"pradyunsg"},"datePublished":"2022-06-18T16:58:58.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/93987/cpython/issues/93987"}
