I don't think we should be explaining to users how to open a terminal emulator on their computer. I would say something along the lines of:
open :file:`Terminal.app` or your favorite OSX terminal emulator and run

I sent my coworker, Camus, the link for Installing Python on OSX, but it was not obvious to Camus that the instructions for installing
brew:were meant to be run in
Terminal. I grant that the entire Python Guide might be intended for more experienced developers and that new users could just go to Python.org and download the installer. I would prefer sharing the opinionated guide with a new developer, though, and not have to supplement it with digressions about what the prompt character,$, implies, but is not a part of the command that we paste into Terminal.The link for
install Homebrewin this guide is somewhat stale, but if you follow it through to the Homebrew homepage, the instructions there are a bit closer to what Camus would need (mentions Terminal, doesn't include the prompt character).
