Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard was released in 2009 and has not been supported by Apple for many years including lack of security updates. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ensure new Python features and bug fixes are compatible with such old systems especially with Apple's deprecation and removal of 32-bit support in recent and upcoming macOS releases. We believe that there is now very little usage of this installer variant and so we would like to focus our resources on supporting newer systems. We do not plan to intentionally break Python support on 10.6 and we will consider bug fixes for problems found when building from source on 10.6. \ +\ +\pard\tx720\tx1440\tx2160\tx2880\tx3600\tx4320\tx5040\tx5760\tx6480\tx7200\tx7920\tx8640\pardirnatural\partightenfactor0 +\cf0 For Python.3.7, python.org currently provides two installer variants for download: one that installs a +\f2\i 64-bit-only +\f0\i0 Python capable of running on +\f2\i macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) +\f0\i0 or later; and one that installs a +\f2\i 64-bit/32-bit Intel +\f0\i0 Python capable of running on +\f2\i macOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) +\f0\i0 or later.
