Thank you Kevin (& all who replied). The next question (which I think
will be my last until I've read more info) is:

Once installed, how will I be able to distinguish between the OSX
Apple-supplied, preinstalled version and the newly installed version
that I downloaded from Python.org? Currently, when I go to Terminal
and type in Python, it gives me the Apple-supplied variant. Will I
need to adjust my environment settings to be able to work with the
newly installed version?
