<p>Welcome to <span class="application">Python</span>. Let's dive in. In this chapter, you'll install the version of <span class="application">Python</span> that's right for you.

<h2 class="title"><a name="install.choosing"></a>1.1. Which <span class="application">Python</span> is right for you?
</h2>
</div>
</div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div class="abstract">
<p>The first thing you need to do with <span class="application">Python</span> is install it. Or do you?
</p>
</div>
<p>If you're using an account on a hosted server, your ISP may have already installed <span class="application">Python</span>. Most popular Linux distributions come with <span class="application">Python</span> in the default installation. <span class="abbrev">Mac</span> <span class="acronym">OS</span> X 10.2 and later includes a command-line version of <span class="application">Python</span>, although you'll probably want to install a version that includes a more Mac-like graphical interface.
</p>
<p>Windows does not come with any version of <span class="application">Python</span>, but don't despair! There are several ways to point-and-click your way to <span class="application">Python</span> on Windows.
</p>
<p>As you can see already, <span class="application">Python</span> runs on a great many operating systems. The full list includes Windows, <span class="abbrev">Mac</span> <span class="acronym">OS</span>, <span class="abbrev">Mac</span> <span class="acronym">OS</span> X, and all varieties of free <span class="acronym">UNIX</span>-compatible systems like Linux. There are also versions that run on Sun Solaris, AS/400, Amiga, OS/2, BeOS, and a plethora
of other platforms you've probably never even heard of.
</p>
<p>What's more, <span class="application">Python</span> programs written on one platform can, with a little care, run on <span class="emphasis"><em>any</em></span> supported platform. For instance, I regularly develop <span class="application">Python</span> programs on Windows and later deploy them on Linux.
</p>
<p>So back to the question that started this section, “<span class="quote">Which <span class="application">Python</span> is right for you?</span>” The answer is whichever one runs on the computer you already have.
