My advice?  I've never had good luck trying to "update" the default
Python that comes with the Mac.  I'd recommend just leaving it alone and
using it, unless there's some reason you absolutely need 2.7.

It is safe to build (and run) a non-Framework build of other versions of
Python in various places on your Mac, but life gets complicated if you
attempt to "install" it.
