Install of QGIS 3.2 in OSX - Python 2.7 existing won't let me

so I am trying to install QGIS on my Mac. I've used this guide here:

https://www.gislounge.com/installing-qgis-on-the-mac/

My QGIS install came from here: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html

I get as far along the steps as installing the QGIS 3.pkg but the installation refuses at this point saying it needs Python 3.6 or up.

I have 3.7 installed in fact as per the steps in the guide. However I also have 2.7 installed - this I understand comes as standard with OSX.

What can I do to get around this? I don't want to mess with native OSX install and break anything!

I'm on OSX 10.13.6

With thanks!

From the QGIS download site:

(...) This package uses the python.org Python 3.6, at least version 3.6.5, the "macosx10.9" build - other distributions are not supported. Install packages in the numbered order.

I read this such as meaning that the installation only supports 3.6, and no other (lower or higher) releases.

I used the 3.6.6 - 2018-06-27 64-bit installer yesterday (from the Python Releases for Mac OS X link), and everything installed flawlessly.
