Run python code from a mathematica notebook? (Mac OS)

Hi,

I am trying to run python code in Mathematica. Ideally, I would like to use Mathematica's algebraic facilities to rearrange values in my python functions. However I am having problems starting an external session. I already have python installed. I have been following the documentation

If someone could let me know where I am going wrong, see screenshot, that would be great!

Thanks in advance

you could run Awk, bash or if you want "a front end" or use apple's awesome applescript or cocoa (script you can do things like touch-screen with not just boxes)

unsure why you'd pick python on apple. but your choice!

Looks like you are trying to run pip from a Mathematica notebook. It needs to be run from a shell. On a Mac start the terminal app, Command-space, then type Terminal and return. In the terminal window type python to make sure Python is installed. Then pip install pyzmq. Then in a notebook try FindExternalEvaluators["Python"].

This does not seem to be a Mathematica issue per se: Mathematica is not finding any Python installation (as shown by the output when you evaluate FindExternalEvaluators["Python"]), and hence not a problem with ExternalEvaluate.

Can you run Python from the command line in Terminal?

I should add, this is on a MAC
