These include:
- bpo-32726: Provide an additional, more modern macOS installer variant that
supports macOS 10.9+ systems in 64-bit mode only. Upgrade the supplied
third-party libraries to OpenSSL 1.0.2n and SQLite 3.22.0. The 10.9+
installer now supplies its own private copy of Tcl/Tk 8.6.8.
- bpo-24414: Default macOS deployment target is now set by ``configure`` to
the build system's OS version (as is done by Python 3), not ``10.4``;
override with, for example, ``./configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4``.
- bpo-19019: All 2.7 macOS installer variants now supply their own version
of ``OpenSSL 1.0.2``; the Apple-supplied SSL libraries and root
certificates are not longer used. The ``Installer Certificate`` command
in ``/Applications/Python 2.7`` may be used to download and install a
default set of root certificates from the third-party ``certifi`` package.
- bpo-11485: python.org macOS Pythons no longer supply a default SDK value
(e.g. ``-isysroot /``) or specific compiler version default (e.g.
``gcc-4.2``) when building extension modules. Use ``CC``, ``SDKROOT``,
and ``DEVELOPER_DIR`` environment variables to override compilers or to
use an SDK. See Apple's ``xcrun`` man page for more info.
- prepare for pending Apple removal of 32-bit support in future macOS release
Don't rebuild generated files based on file modification time
anymore, the action is now explicit. Replace "make touch"
with "make regen-all".
Changes:
* Remove "make touch", Tools/hg/hgtouch.py and .hgtouch
* Add a new "make regen-all" command to rebuild all generated files
* Add subcommands to only generate specific files:
- regen-ast: Include/Python-ast.h and Python/Python-ast.c
- regen-grammar: Include/graminit.h and Python/graminit.c
- regen-opcode-targets: Python/opcode_targets.h
* Add PYTHON_FOR_REGEN variable
* pgen is now only built by by "make regen-grammar"
* Add $(srcdir)/ prefix to paths to source files to handle correctly
compilation outside the source directory
system Python site-packages directory, to sys.path for macOS framework builds.
The coupling between the two Python instances often caused confusion and, as
of macOS 10.12, changes to the site-packages layout can cause pip component
installations to fail. This change reverts the effects introduced in 2.7.0
by Issue #4865. If you are using a package with both the Apple system Python
2.7 and a user-installed Python 2.7, you will need to ensure that copies of
the package are installed with both Python instances.
and link with a private copy of OpenSSL, like installers targeted
for 10.5 already do, since Apple has deprecated use of the system
OpenSSL and removed its header files from the Xcode 7 SDK. Note
that this configuration is not currently used to build any
python.org-supplied installers and that the private copy of
OpenSSL requires its own root certificates.
