Thanks for the reply. Alon has fixed Emscripten so it no longer insists on 
2.7.12 and works with 2.7.10.

Actually the pre-installed 2.7.10 is just the same as any other 2.7.10, except 
that it already includes PyObjC rather than requiring an additional download. 
I’ve been using it and its predecessors for a long time without any problem. I 
don’t know why it would not be recommended for general use.

I actually already had a MacPorts distribution of Python2 installed. It was 
2.7.10 as well and not installed all that long ago. I have updated to the 
latest MacPorts version which is 2.10.16 like Brew. Not the very latest 
available but close enough. But I’ll probably continue to default to the 
pre-installed Python.
