Languages > 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 will not make any changes to the Python build that is pre installed on your Mac. The Apple-provided build of Python is installed in “/usr/bin/python”.
- Make Python available on the command line
Check this option to make the current Python version available on the command line. MAMP PRO uses an alias to provide this functionality. When this option is checked the following is added to your “~/.profile” file.
alias python='/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/python'
