Then select "Open using ... Installer" from the contextual menu that appears. + **NEW* As of Python 3.4.0b1: + +New Installation Options and Defaults +===================================== + +The Python installer now includes an option to automatically install +or upgrade pip, a tool for installing and managing Python packages. +This option is enabled by default and no Internet access is required. +If you do want the installer to do this, select the "Customize" option +at the "Installation Type" step and uncheck the "Install or ugprade +pip" option. + +To make it easier to use scripts installed by third-party Python +packages, with pip or by other means, the "Shell profile updater" +option is now enabled by default, as has been the case with Python +2.7.x installers. You can also turn this option off by selecting +"Customize" and unchecking the "Shell profile updater" option. You can +also update your shell profile later by launching the "Update Shell +Profile" command found in the /Applications/Python $VERSION folder. You may +need to start a new terminal window for the changes to take effect. + +Python.org Python $VERSION and 2.7.x versions can both be installed and +will not conflict. Command names for Python 3 contain a 3 in them, +python3 (or python$VERSION), idle3 (or idle$VERSION), pip3 (or pip$VERSION), etc. +Python 2.7 command names contain a 2 or no digit: python2 (or +python2.7 or python), idle2 (or idle2.7 or idle), etc. If you want to +use pip with Python 2.7.x, you will need to download and install a +separate copy of it from the Python Package Index +(https://pypi.python.org/pypi). + + **** IMPORTANT changes if you use IDLE and Tkinter **** Installing a third-party version of Tcl/Tk is no longer required
