I'm following a video tutorial (not available online) for installing Python and setting it up to use with Eclipse (text editor). To configure Eclipse to use Python, he adds the Python interpreter. In his movie, the python interpreter is a file python.exe.
However, when I'm browsing through my folder in Python, I don't see a file named python.exe. This (see image) is what I have instead.
1) which of these files do I click on to install the interpreter? or have I done something wrong and the correct file isn't here?
Thanks for your help.

6It sounds like you are using a Windows tutorial on a Mac. The correct file will not end with ".exe". I would try "Python Launcher".Andrew Hare– Andrew Hare2011年04月05日 13:28:06 +00:00Commented Apr 5, 2011 at 13:28

The path for the Python .exe can be found in: /usr/local/bin/pythonw
Hope this helps!

I was using a windows tutorial when I should have been using a tutorial for Mac, so that explains why I didn't have an .exe file. Launching the wizard didn't set up the interpreter. I had to navigate to another folder on my Mac.
