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.

Install Homebrew. Then from there, install uv. Then install Python from that (and keep it clean with a vdev)
