4 hours? Yeesh. Here's how to do it in 5-10 minutes.

Use pyenv to install any python version and pyenv-virtualenv to manage virutal environments.

For me, pyenv on Mac is about 15 minute compile time with a bunch of environment variables required to make sure tkinter works properly.

The compile time depends largely on dependencies. If you have OpenSSL, zlib, and whatnot pre-installed (either via Homebrew or self-compiled and specified with environment variables), the compile time is close to 5 minutes. If you don’t, by default pyenv (actually python-build) compiles all those from scratch, and can easily spend north of 20 minutes (mostly for OpenSSL).

Use miniconda. It's much better.

Anaconda is also great for beginners - GUI, lots of normal packages precompiled (also numpy, scipy, pandas, scikit-learn). If you do the full install, it comes with lots of packages pre-loaded.
