As @glyph pointed out in #359 and on twitter[0] using homebrew to install Python has its own issues. Also, brew install'ed versions of Python also mess with packaging[1][2] in ways that alter pip's behavior in odd ways (not even all documented). Is there any reason not to recomend installing the packages on python.org?

Also has the perk of not requiring XCode

Further note that macOS now comes with python3, making it less necessary to install python separately.
