App Store?

Get the store app with Python, its editor, libraries and tutorials. It has no Helper, so the Terminal, Python Console, debugging and Git are not available; features and purchase options differ from the free Mac download.

Your download questions

Choose with confidence.

What is free?

The Mac app downloaded from this website has all app features unlocked and no app subscription. App Store purchases and external AI services are separate.

What do I do after downloading the Mac app?

Open the ZIP, move Py Editor to Applications and open it. Choose a project or example to begin. Follow the installation guide.

Do larger example projects need setup?

Some projects require Helper and additional packages. Follow the project setup prompts or the Helper guide.

Can I switch from the Mac App Store app?

Yes. Save and back up your work first. Installing the free Mac download replaces the Mac App Store app; you cannot keep both installed together.

Is the Mac download signed?

Yes. It is signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
