A.2 Installing Python

You may already have Python 3 installed on your system. Try running

python -VV

python3 -VV

from the operating system command line. If you see a version and description of the Python 3 application, it is already installed. Some systems may have Python version 2 installed, and the python -VV command may start and show information about that. Try python3 -VV to see if Python 3 is also installed.

This book uses Python 3.9, and some examples may not work for versions less than that. The process to upgrade to a newer version of Python may require you to have special permissions for installing software on your computer. For current information about upgrading your system, do a web search for one of

windows upgrade python
mac upgrade python
linux upgrade python

and follow the directions.
