Hi, Was wondering if we could squeeze in a question about Python installation on OS X on this thread:
To set up Python on Mac, we were advised to install the latest version of Python 3.6.4 and PIP3 (According to the Hitchhiker's Guide to Python http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install3/osx/) . The installation folder is:
MacBook-Pro: which python3 /usr/local/bin/python3
However, when we checked the package list, the packages are still pointed at the Python 2.7 packages folder (the native version of Python that ships with Mac). Is this correct or we need to re-install the packages for Python 3.6.4 using PIP3?

What does `pip3 --version` and `python3 -m pip show pip` show you? As an example mine shows: ``` $ pip3 --version pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6) $ python3 -m pip show pip Name: pip Version: 9.0.1 Summary: The PyPA recommended tool for installing Python packages.

You might want to try reinstalled pip, <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/> with python3. Also it's generally best practice when replying to a thread in a mailing list with a new topic to change the subject like I did above. It helps the archiving of the mailing list so people can better browse.
