For Python 3.6 releases, we provide two binary installer options for download. The default variant is 64-bit-only and works on macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) and later systems. We also continue to provide a 64-bit/32-bit variant that works on all versions of macOS from 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on. Go to and download the Python 3.6 macOS 64 bit installer (currently 3.6.7). This is a pkg installer you can run like many other software. If you don't want to replace the Python 3.7 you installed from brew, ensure this Python distribution is NOT added to the system $PATH.
Appleās Mac OS comes with python 2.7 installed by default. Perhaps you may want to use python 3.x.x on your machine and also use pip for package management with
python 3.x.x.
