Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. In the prerequisites, Windows is mentioned first and linked to a dedicated setup guide, while Linux and macOS are grouped together with a generic Python download link. In the section on setting environment variables, Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell instructions are listed before macOS and Linux, with more detailed steps and validation guidance for Windows. The use of 'setx' and PowerShell syntax are Windows-specific tools, and the restart/validation instructions are more explicit for Windows than for Linux/macOS. There are no Linux-specific tools or troubleshooting notes, and the overall structure prioritizes Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, not after.
  • Provide equally detailed steps for Linux/macOS, including validation and restart instructions.
  • Include troubleshooting notes or common issues for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Reference Linux and macOS setup guides for Python as prominently as the Windows guide.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific tools (like 'setx') without offering equivalent Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., adding to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile).
  • Ensure that screenshots and examples are not exclusively from Windows environments.
