Description
OS - macOS High Sierra v10.13.3
Downloaded QGIS3 (QGIS-macOS-3.2.1-1.dmg), installed Python v3.7 (python-3.7.0-macosx10.9.pkg) and QGIS3 installer does not recognize that Python v3.7 is installed but gives message that it requires Python v3.6

afaik, qgis makes its own python installation also on macOS (as on Windows), not 100% sure anyway.

If I follow the instructions as per the QGIS3 installation package, I need to install:
1. Python 3.6 (I did not use homebrew to install, but the downloaded Python *.pkg as stated above.)
2. Install GDAL (I did this from the QGIS3 *.dmg)
3. Install QGIS3
This is what I did and during step 3, QGIS3 installer stop with the message.
This issue is also mentioned here -> https://gis.stackexchange.com/a/274557
Please remember that macOS requires Python v2.7.x and nothing greater. So QGIS3 users need to ensure Python v2.7 and Python 3.6+ co-exists on the same machine and QGIS should be able to recognise this dual existence.
