MacOS instruction: avoid entering interactive Python shell

[ewjoachim]

I saw this tweet, and realized that the aim is to trigger MacOS to install XCode CLI tools etc, as a side effect of launching Python but if you don't realize you entered a Python shell, this can be tricky.

My suggestion involves:

• backticks to make it super hyper extra clear that one should not copy double quotes. It's orthogonal to the issue at hand, but I think it should help
• Using python --version should, in theory, do the same as launching Python itself, and will return immediately. I cannot test though.

Note: I'm not familiar with this software, so I don't claim this is correct. If you have any reason to believe this would not be a good change, you clearly know better :)

Good point, thanks for this correction! 👍

Thanks :)

If you look at that twitter thread, you'll see other suggestions based on problems this person encountered. These are likely bigger changes so I'm not sure it's relevant to blindly suggest them like this one, but it may be interesting to explore.
