There are other changes in Big Sur that affect Python operation regardless of CPU architecture.\ +\ +Beginning with 3.10.0a3, we provide a new "universal2" installer variant that provides universal binaries for both ARM64 and Intel 64 architectures and is also supported on all Macs that support macOS 10.9 or later. Some of the advantages of the new installer variant: native ARM64 code on Apple Silicon Macs should run significantly faster than Rosetta2-emulated code; some operating system functions and options introduced in macOS releases since 10.9 are now exposed when available (primarily in the os module); the new installer variant includes Tcl/Tk 8.6.10 rather than 8.6.8.\ + +\f1\b \ul \ +Other changes\ \f0\b0 \ulnone \ For other changes in this release, see the |
