Scott Macpherson added the comment:

I'd like to help out with this issue if I can. This page in the documentation is really showing it's age now.

* I think referring to "OS X" (soon to be "MacOS") instead of "Mac" or "Macintosh" would more accurate.
* The opening paragraph of section 4.1 only refers to OS X 10.8, which was released over 4 years ago.
* Is there any value in listing text editors in section 4.1.1? Editors frequently come-and-go.
* I suspect a large number of Python 3 developers running OS X use http://brew.sh/ - would it be worth mentioning this somewhere?
