    NACK. There's no need to install an old version of Python.

    NACK

    For me it doesn't make sense to suggest to install the minimum version. I prefer to have users with the most recent one, not the minimum one.

  7. doc/build-osx.md: brew install python@3 b2f2951e51

    NACK - python and python@3 are the same thing (both aliases for python 3.11, which is the current latest version). We can leave these docs as-is, and/or worry about changing them when Python 4 is (never) released. Thanks.

    To maintain consistency across macOS x86 and Arm64 maybe the minimum python3 version should be python@3.8

    @RandyMcMillan maybe make a separate issue about M1 not supporting Python 3.7 (I don't have one, so can't confirm). It's just one of many operating systems we support, but a lot of devs use it so it seems worth looking into.

    Thanks, but there is no need to make an issue. There is nothing here that needs to be solved.
