Mac OS X comes with Python 2.7 out of the box.
- Nestled by the coast in historic groves of 350 acres of oak and sycamore trees along seasonal El Capitan Creek, our cedar cabins, adventure yurts and safari tents cater to 'luxury' campers who seek a nature experience in comfort combined with fireside gatherings.
- Apple has officially releases the full and final Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 (Build: 15G31) Delta / Combo Update with Safari 9.1.2 web browser for general public user. Mac device users can instantly upgrade to OS X 10.11.6 Final Version to experience all new features, functions, fixes and improvements.
- In this post, we will provide step by step instructions for installing OpenCV 3.3.0 (C and Python) on MacOS and OSX. If you are still not able to install OpenCV on your system, but want to get started with it, we suggest using our docker images with pre-installed OpenCV, Dlib, miniconda and jupyter notebooks along.
You do not need to install or configure anything else to use Python 2. Theseinstructions document the installation of Python 3.
The version of Python that ships with OS X is great for learning, but it's notgood for development. The version shipped with OS X may be out of date from theofficial current Python release,which is considered the stable production version.
Doing it Right¶
It sounds like OS X doesn't have python2, which we assume in our shebangs. And in El Capitan, adding a symlink on /usr/bin is apparently not possible. This forces people to write python emcc et.
Let's install a real version of Python.
Before installing Python, you'll need to install GCC. GCC can be obtainedby downloading Xcode, the smallerCommand Line Tools (must have anApple account) or the even smaller OSX-GCC-Installerpackage.
Note

Note
If you perform a fresh install of Xcode, you will also need to add thecommandline tools by running xcode-select--install
on the terminal.
While OS X comes with a large number of Unix utilities, those familiar withLinux systems will notice one key component missing: a package manager.Homebrew fills this void. https://berctisphara1973.mystrikingly.com/blog/game-ppsspp-naruto-ultimate-ninja-storm-4.

To install Homebrew, open Terminal
oryour favorite OS X terminal emulator and run
The script will explain what changes it will make and prompt you before theinstallation begins.Once you've installed Homebrew, insert the Homebrew directory at the topof your PATH
environment variable. You can do this by adding the followingline at the bottom of your ~/.profile
file Gzdoom ps4 controller.
If you have OS X 10.12 (Sierra) or older use this line instead

Pip¶
Homebrew installs pip
pointing to the Homebrew'd Python 3 for you.
Working with Python 3¶
At this point, you have the system Python 2.7 available, potentially theHomebrew version of Python 2 installed, and the Homebrewversion of Python 3 as well.
will launch the Homebrew-installed Python 3 interpreter.
will launch the Homebrew-installed Python 2 interpreter (if any).
will launch the Homebrew-installed Python 3 interpreter.
If the Homebrew version of Python 2 is installed then pip2
will point to Python 2.If the Homebrew version of Python 3 is installed then pip
will point to Python 3.
The rest of the guide will assume that python
references Python 3.
Pipenv & Virtual Environments¶
The next step is to install Pipenv, so you can install dependencies and manage virtual environments.
A Virtual Environment is a tool to keep the dependencies required by different projectsin separate places, by creating virtual Python environments for them. It solves the'Project X depends on version 1.x but, Project Y needs 4.x' dilemma, and keepsyour global site-packages directory clean and manageable.
For example, you can work on a project which requires Django 1.10 while alsomaintaining a project which requires Django 1.8.
So, onward! To the Pipenv & Virtual Environments docs!

Question or issue on macOS:
I'm using a python executable in a virtual environment. I tried doing the whole codesign thing as described here, including creating the certificate, etc. The command worked, but the result stayed the same. I think it used to work on previous versions of OS X, but I currently use the most recent El Capitan version (10.11.6) and it's not working anymore. Any ideas on how to fix it?
EDIT: I did see this solution, but since my python is in a virtual environment, I'm not sure it applies, unless you guys say otherwise…
EDIT 2: I tried the solution above, didn't work. I should mention that I am codesigning the python executable in the virtualenv.
EDIT 3: The thing that ended up working for me was upgrading flask to the current version, (using pip install flask –upgarde), and running the app with export FLASK_APP=app.py; flask run instead of with python app.py. When you run the app with flask run, the annoying dialog box doesn't pop up anymore. No codesigning needed to my knowledge. Hope this helps someone.
How to solve this problem?
Why is that happening?
So the python
executables in El Capitan spawns ./Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app
+ some extra magic. The problem is that the framework bundle doesn't have its own signature, and it uses signatures of parent application binaries.
How to check?
The first thing to check after installing applications from non-Apple-maintained-source-that-might-steal-your-soul, is to check if the application you are installing is restricted:
If it is restricted it cannot be removed (even with root) as long as SIP is enabled.

If it is restricted it cannot be removed (even with root) as long as SIP is enabled.
What to do?
So you have several different options you must try:
Pre-Option 0 – I think you are doing it already: I am not sure how you are maintaining your virtual environments, so just confirm you are going through the process, like here.
Option 1 – safe, but might not work: Use
brew
to maintain your executables andpip
to maintain your packages. That usually solves the problem immediately, but I am not sure what is your case 🙂Option 2 – dangerous, but will work Arrow shortcut key. : Check and Disable the SIP. Unless you work in an environment protected by a team of IT guys with years of security experience, I don't suggest it. This option WILL solve the issue, but you basically getting rid of one of the security layers… GL!
UPDATE 1
There is another option (not sure if you tried it though)
El Capitan Python Tutorial
- Option 1.5 – I have no idea if it will work: Try Option 1 (
csrutil disable
), reboot, go through thecodesign
process, reboot, and undo the Option 1 (csrutil enable
). I have never tried it, but it doesn't mean you can't :))) Credit goes to this SO answer here
