Hi, Giuseppe,

Thanks a lot for your most informative reply. I’ll definitely switch to 
python39, as you suggested. But I am not sure how exactly to proceed, since I 
suspect that my botched installation of numpy, scipy, matplotlibs and jupyter 
may have broken something. Right now “port select —list” outputs the following:

Name       Selected  Options
====       ========  =======
cython     cython37  cython37 cython39 none
gcc        none      mp-gcc11 none
ipython    none      py37-ipython py39-ipython none
ipython3   none      py37-ipython py39-ipython none
llvm       none      mp-llvm-10 mp-llvm-9.0 none
mypy       none      mypy37 none
pip        pip37     pip37 none
pip2       none      none
pip3       none      pip37 none
pygments   none      py37-pygments py39-pygments none
python     python37  python27-apple python37 none
python3    python37  python37 none
wxWidgets  none      wxWidgets-3.0 none

I have installed both python3.7 and python3.9, although the latter is inactive:

artemio@imac ~ % port installed python\*   
The following ports are currently installed:
  python-mode.el @1.0_0 (active)
  python3_select @0.0_2 (active)
  python37 @3.7.12_0 (active)
  python39 @3.9.7_0
  python_select @0.3_9 (active)

I have also 83 py37-* packages installed and active, vs 67 py39-* ones, also 
active (probably because the scientific libraries are only installed in their 
3.7 variants), including both py37-jupyter and py39-jupyter:

artemio@imac ~ % port installed py\*-jupyter
The following ports are currently installed:
  py-jupyter @1.0.0_1
  py37-jupyter @1.0.0_1 (active)
  py39-jupyter @1.0.0_1 

So my questions are:

1. Should I activate python39 and decativate python37 before installing the 3.9 
versions fo numpy, scipy and matplotlib? Can both be active at the same time 
after that, or should I keep 3.7 inactive for good (or unistall it)?

2. Should I install (say) py-numpy or more specifically py39-numpy?

3. Is it OK if the 3.7 versions of the py-* package are active throughout this 
installation process (and afterwards), or should I also deactivate them?

4. Will "jupyter notebook” automatically find the scientific libraries I’m 
going to install, or should I do something else (like, e.g., create an 
environment)?

Again, I apologize for my ignorance (I’m coming from Mathematica, but I would 
like to try python out because many of my colleagues now use it).

Artemio
