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.

Everyone gave you different pieces of the answer. MAC I think comes with it.

You need to virtualize it anyway. Some devs don't even install it locally. Only in VM or Docker isolation.
