That's a thought. I could offer the user the option of either a) automatically installing homebrew and then installing python3 via homebrew, or b) manually downloading and running the python3 installer.

On that note, is there a fixed url that will always get the latest python3 installer? Of course, I might not want to do that, for example after 3.7 or 4.0 (I know, not for a while) is released, just in case something breaks with a newer release.

Yeah, that idea kinda left a sour taste in my mouth, but I figured I'd throw it out there as it would solve the python install issue.
