Download Python 2.7 Mac

Django is available open-source under the BSD license. We recommend using the latest version of Python 3. The last version to support Python 2.7 is Django 1.11 LTS. See the FAQ for the Python versions supported by each version of Django. Here’s how to get it:

Python 2.7.6 compressed source tarball (for Linux, Unix or Mac OS X) Python 2.7.6 xzipped source tarball (for Linux, Unix or Mac OS X, better compression) A comprehensive list of the latest release of all major versions is available if you need source code for an older version of Python. Mac OS X 10.8 comes with Python 2.7 pre-installed by Apple. If you wish, you are invited to install the most recent version of Python from the Python website ( ). A current “universal binary” build of Python, which runs natively on the Mac’s new Intel and legacy PPC CPU’s, is available there.

Option 1: Get the latest official version

The latest official version is 3.1.3. Read the 3.1.3 release notes, then install it with pip:

Option 2: Get the latest development version

The latest and greatest Django version is the one that’s in our Git repository (our revision-control system). This is only for experienced users who want to try incoming changes and help identify bugs before an official release. Get it using this shell command, which requires Git:

Download Python 2.7 Macc

git clone https://github.com/django/django.git

You can also download a gzipped tarball of the development version. This archive is updated every time we commit code.

After you get it

See the installation guide for further instructions. Make sure you read the documentation that corresponds to the version of Django you’ve just installed.

And be sure to sign up for the django-users mailing list, where other Django users and the Django developers themselves all hang out to help each other.

Supported Versions

Feature releases (A.B, A.B+1, etc.) will happen roughly every eight months. These releases will contain new features, improvements to existing features, and such.

Patch releases (A.B.C, etc.) will be issued as needed, to fix bugs and/or security issues. These releases will be 100% compatible with the associated feature release, unless this is impossible for security reasons or to prevent data loss. So the answer to 'should I upgrade to the latest patch release?” will always be 'yes.'

Certain feature releases will be designated as long-term support (LTS) releases. These releases will get security and data loss fixes applied for a guaranteed period of time, typically three years.

See the supported versions policy for detailed guidelines about what fixes will be backported.

Here's what the future roadmap looks like:

^{[1] Security fixes, data loss bugs, crashing bugs, major functionality bugs in newly-introduced features, and regressions from older versions of Django.
[2] Security fixes and data loss bugs.
[3] Last version to support Python 2.7.}
