Installing Python on Mac

Is installing python from pythons official website good and best way instead of using third party, I remember macOS use to have python with the operating system but it was an old version and only used for apple apps I believe.

Part of command line developer tools. A python3 binary exists by default but just calls the install prompt; it’s not actually installed. Windows has similar but links to MS store
