Hi Connor, and welcome. My response is below.
It might be helpful to add to what Steven has told you:
I use GNU/Linux but my wife uses Apple products and my limited
experience with them is that typing python at the command line will
get you python2.7.
If you need python3, it won't be so simple.
It really isn't very hard though.
With Linux (at least Ubuntu 14.04) you need only type python3 instead
of python.
With linux: provided you've installed python 3. Our ubuntu box also has python3
to hand; I forget whether I installed it specially.
My Mac is the same; you will need to add python 3. There are third party
systems for adding most UNIX software not already present (a Mac has a pretty
decent UNIX setup anyway, being UNIX Inside:-).
HomeBrew, Fink and MacPorts are popular. You can use any or all of them; they
generally do not conflict.
I use MacPorts.
For MacPorts and probably the others you will need a C compiler, so you will
need to go to the App Store and fetch XCode (it is free); that is the Mac
compiler suite.
You can fetch MacPorts itself here:
https://www.macports.org/
Then install python 3 by issuing the command:
sudo port install python34
what as I type gets you python 3.4.2. The command:
port search python
found the name "python34" for me towards the bottom of the listing.
