I've downloaded and run the Python installer from the python.org site as recommended by the installation guide. But when I type the "python --version" command in the Terminal (I'm on macOS) I only get an error message.

#

interestingly, if i write "python3" instead of "python" (like it says in the installation documentation) then it seems to work. will that suffice?

#

i just tried, seems to work, installing now. might be a good idea to mention this in the documentation for other users?
