Among other issues, the Apple-supplied 0.9.7 libs for the 10.5 ABI cannot
verify newer SHA-256 certs as now used by python.org services. Document
in the installer ReadMe some of the certificate management issues that
users now need to be more concerned with due to PEP 476's enabling cert
verification by default. For now, continue to use the Apple-supplied
0.9.8 libs for the 10.6+ installer since they use Apple private APIs to
verify certificates using the system- and user-managed CA keychain stores.
Values in the range of an unsigned long long, but outside of the range
of a signed long long were serialized as a negative value.
Due to a bug in PyObjC my test scripts indicated that the previous behavior
matched Apple's plist code, instead the handle large unsigned values correctly.
The change to plistlib.py is from a patch by Serhiy.

benchmark files in order to prevent using a random system python, and in
source files of modules which don't provide command line interface. Fixed
shebang lines in the unittestgui and checkpip scripts.

* Negative integer support in binary plists was broken
* Better exception for invalid data
* Fix the versionadded/versionchanged markup in the documentation
* Add the interface cleanup to what's new for 3.4
upgrade pip by default, using the bundled pip provided by the new ensurepip
module. A new configure option, --with-ensurepip[=upgrade|install|no], is
available to override the default ensurepip "--upgrade" option. The option
can also be set with "make [alt]install ENSUREPIP=[upgrade|install\no]".
in bin directories for all configurations: non-framework vs framework,
and single arch vs universal builds. pythonx.y-32 is now always
installed for 64-bit/32-bit universal builds. The obsolete and
undocumented pythonw* symlinks are no longer installed anywhere.
This patch adds support for binary plists on OSX to plistlib (based
on a patch by 'dpounces').
The patch also cleans up the API for the plistlib module.
Some third-party projects, such as matplotlib and PIL/Pillow,
depended on being able to build with Tcl and Tk frameworks in
/Library/Frameworks. They were unable to build with the built-in
Tcl/Tk and/or execute correctly.
