system Python site-packages directory, to sys.path for macOS framework builds. The coupling between the two Python instances often caused confusion and, as of macOS 10.12, changes to the site-packages layout can cause pip component installations to fail. This change reverts the effects introduced in 2.7.0 by Issue #4865. If you are using a package with both the Apple system Python 2.7 and a user-installed Python 2.7, you will need to ensure that copies of the package are installed with both Python instances.

What Now?

Reading this tutorial has probably reinforced your interest in using Python ---
you should be eager to apply Python to solving your real-world problems. Where
should you go to learn more?
This tutorial is part of Python's documentation set. Some other documents in
the set are:
* :ref:`library-index`:
You should browse through this manual, which gives complete (though terse)
reference material about types, functions, and the modules in the standard
library. The standard Python distribution includes a *lot* of additional code.
There are modules to read Unix mailboxes, retrieve documents via HTTP, generate
random numbers, parse command-line options, write CGI programs, compress data,
and many other tasks. Skimming through the Library Reference will give you an
idea of what's available.
* :ref:`install-index` explains how to install external modules written by other
Python users.
* :ref:`reference-index`: A detailed explanation of Python's syntax and
semantics. It's heavy reading, but is useful as a complete guide to the
language itself.
More Python resources:
* https://www.python.org: The major Python Web site. It contains code,
documentation, and pointers to Python-related pages around the Web. This Web
site is mirrored in various places around the world, such as Europe, Japan, and
Australia; a mirror may be faster than the main site, depending on your
geographical location.
* https://docs.python.org: Fast access to Python's documentation.
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi: The Python Package Index, previously also nicknamed
the Cheese Shop, is an index of user-created Python modules that are available
for download. Once you begin releasing code, you can register it here so that
others can find it.
* https://code.activestate.com/recipes/langs/python/: The Python Cookbook is a
sizable collection of code examples, larger modules, and useful scripts.
Particularly notable contributions are collected in a book also titled Python
Cookbook (O'Reilly & Associates, ISBN 0-596-00797-3.)
For Python-related questions and problem reports, you can post to the newsgroup
:newsgroup:`comp.lang.python`, or send them to the mailing list at
python-list@python.org. The newsgroup and mailing list are gatewayed, so
messages posted to one will automatically be forwarded to the other. There are
around 120 postings a day (with peaks up to several hundred), asking (and
answering) questions, suggesting new features, and announcing new modules.
Before posting, be sure to check the list of :ref:`Frequently Asked Questions
<faq-index>` (also called the FAQ). Mailing list
archives are available at https://mail.python.org/pipermail/. The FAQ answers
many of the questions that come up again and again, and may already contain the
solution for your problem.
.. Postings figure based on average of last six months activity as
reported by www.egroups.com; Jan. 2000 - June 2000: 21272 msgs / 182
days = 116.9 msgs / day and steadily increasing. (XXX up to date figures?)
