[FIXED] Python not showing correct version on Mac OSX

Issue

I am trying to update Python to 3.7.4 on my Mac. Currently when I type python3 --version, it shows that I have Python 3.7.3 I have tried to update using just the standalone installer from the website as well as homebrew but even through all of these methods, python3 --version still returns to me 3.7.3. Even when I try to upgrade with Brew, it says that 3.7.4 is installed...

Picture for reference:

Please help and thank you in advance!

Solution

Update: Check what python version you are using by running which python, at this point you might figure out what version of Python is being used to solve this problem. Otherwise, follow up this steps:

I would remove all Python installations and use Homebrew to install it.

First, run which python:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

Delete the entire Python.framework directory from /Library/Frameworks.

Second, run which python3:

/usr/local/bin/python3

Again, delete the entire python3 directory.

Now use brew doctor in order to see possible issues with symlinks. If you have issues run brew prune or brew cleanup --prune. This will remove all of the symlinks.

Reinstall python and python3 via homebrew:

brew install python
