| ryan | technology | Sometimes the internet is a horrible, awful, ugly thing. And then other times, it’s exactly what you need. I have 2 Raspberry Pi each with different versions of Python. One running python 3.4.2 and the other running Python 3.5.3. I have previously tried to upgrade the version of the Pi running 3.5.3 to a more recent version (in this case 3.6.1) and read 10s of articles on how to do it. It did not go well. Parts seemed to have worked, while others didn’t. I have 3.6.1 installed, but in order to run it I have to issue the command `python3.6` which is _fine_ but not really what I was looking for. For whatever reason, although I do nearly all of my Python development on my Mac, it hadn’t occurred to me to upgrade Python there until last night. With a simple Google search the first result came to Stackoverflow (what else?) and [this](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/201612/keeping- python-3-up-to-date-on-a-mac) answer. brew update brew upgrade python3 Sometimes things on a Mac do ‘just work’. This was one of those times. I’m now running Python 3.7.1 and I’ll I needed to do was a simple command in the terminal. God bless the internet. | 2018-12-22 | keeping-python-up-to-date-on-macos | Sometimes the internet is a horrible, awful, ugly thing. And then other times, it’s exactly what you need.
