Oh hawkowl.  Either you die an a.out, or you live long enough to become a .dylib

Unfortunately it's only kind of true!

$ /usr/bin/python3
Python 3.7.3 (default, Apr  7 2020, 14:06:47)
[Clang 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.59)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.executable
'/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/python3'
>>>

You can also get one from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python3 if you do `xcode-select --install` but it's not present in the macOS base image and you can't use it from applications.
