I don't have my MacBook with me, but Python 2.7 should already be installed on the Mac. Apple has been doing this for quite a few years. And some of the newer Macs have Python 3.6 since Python 2.7 is now considered obsolete though plenty of Python 2.7 code will be running for many years to come.

Just in case Python3 is not on your machine, here's a link to installing Python3 on a Mac.
