Plistlib currently throws an exception when asked to decode a valid
.plist file that was generated by Apple's NSKeyedArchiver. Specifically,
this is caused by a byte 0x80 (signifying a UID) not being understood.
This fixes the problem by enabling the binary plist reader and writer
to read and write plistlib.UID objects.
This reverts commit 7cf3d8e251.
Due to regressions found with using Tk 8.6.9.1, build the python.org macOS installers with Tcl/Tk 8.6.8 as used in previous releases.
https://bugs.python.org/issue35402
Currently, "pip3 install --upgrade pip" unconditionally installs a
"pip" alias even for Python 3. If a user has an existing Python 3.x
installed from a python.org macOS installer and then subsequently
manually updates to a new version of pip, there may now be a stray
"pip" alias in the Python 3.x framework bin directory which can cause
confusion if the user has both a Python 2.7 and 3.x installed;
if the Python 3.x fw bin directory appears early on $PATH, "pip"
might invoke the pip3 for the Python 3.x rather than the pip for
Python 2.7. To try to mitigate this, the macOS installer script
for the ensurepip option will unconditionally remove "pip" from
the 3.x framework bin directory being updated / installed. (The
ambiguity can be avoided by using "pythonx.y -m pip".)
Build and link with private copy of Tcl/Tk 8.6 for the macOS 10.6+
installer. The 10.9+ installer variant already does this. This means that
the Python 3.7 provided by the python.org macOS installers no longer need or
use any external versions of Tcl/Tk, either system-provided or user-
installed, such as ActiveTcl.
Forcing the macOS IDLE.app gui process to launch in 32-mode was
a necessary hack for old versions of Tk (Aqua Carbon as in Tk 8.4
and early versions of 8.5); it is not needed for current versions
of Tk. Since 32-bit launching will no longer be supported on
future releases of macOS, allow IDLE.app to launch in 64-bit mode.
This issue covers various changes for the macOS installers provided via python.org for 3.7.0.
- Provide a provisional new installer variant for macOS 10.9 and later systems with 64-bit (x86_64) architecture only. Apple has made it known that future versions of macOS will only fully support 64-bit executables and some other third-party software suppliers have chosen 10.9 as their oldest supported system.
- Support **Tcl/Tk 8.6** with the 10.9 installer variant.
- Upgrade **OpenSSL** to 1.1.0g and **SQLite** to 3.22.0.
- The compiler name used for the interpreter build and for modules built with **Distutils / pip** is now _gcc_ rather than _gcc-4.2_. And extension module builds will no longer try to force use of an old SDK if present.
* Fix multiple typos in code comments
* Add spacing in comments (test_logging.py, test_math.py)
* Fix spaces at the beginning of comments in test_logging.py
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-importlib: Python/importlib_external.h and Python/importlib.h
- regen-opcode: Include/opcode.h
- regen-opcode-targets: Python/opcode_targets.h
- regen-typeslots: Objects/typeslots.inc
* Rename PYTHON_FOR_GEN to PYTHON_FOR_REGEN
* 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
Note: $(PYTHON_FOR_REGEN) is no more used nor needed by "make"
default target building Python.
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.

* 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.
Make it easier for users to make use of the backup _tkinter linked
with the third-party Tcl and Tk frameworks in /Library/Frameworks.
The two tkinter variants are now installed in separate directories
under a new lib-tkinter. This allows per-user selection by
manipulating sys.path, directly or with PYTHONPATH. If this
proves useful, we can supply a more convenient user interface
to supply the paths. For now, this remains somewhat experimental.

1. ppc arch detection for extension module builds broke with Xcode 5
2. ppc arch detection in configure did not work on OS X 10.4
3. -sysroot and -arch flags were unnecessarily duplicated
4. there was no obvious way to configure an intel-32 only build.
