As of 2016, Macs come with Python 2.7.x installed.

The python installer for Mac OS is an installer package as opposed to something that can be installed on the command line.

Search for "Install Python 3" to find the Python download page.

Download the 64-bit Python installer package for Mac OS.

(The installer doesn't require admin privileges.)

See Python Virtual Environments for running Python 3.
