There are some additional operating system functions that are supported starting with 10.6 and you may see better performance using 64-bit mode. By default, Python will automatically run in 64-bit mode if your system supports it. Also see

For OS X 10.5, Apple provides
\i OpenSSL 0.9.7
\i0 libraries. This version of Apple's OpenSSL
\b does not
\b0 use the certificates from the system security framework, even when used on newer versions of OS X. Instead it consults a traditional OpenSSL concatenated certificate file (
\i cafile
\i0 ) or certificate directory (
\i capath
\i0 ), located in
\f1 /System/Library/OpenSSL
\f0 . These directories are typically empty and not managed by OS X; you must manage them yourself or supply your own SSL contexts. OpenSSL 0.9.7 is obsolete by current security standards, lacking a number of important features found in later versions. Among the problems this causes is the inability to verify higher-security certificates now used by python.org services, including
\i t{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "https://pypi.python.org/pypi"}}{\fldrslt he Python Package Index, PyPI}}
\i0 . To solve this problem, the
\i 10.5+ 32-bit-only python.org variant
\i0 is linked with a private copy of
\i OpenSSL 1.0.2
\i0 ; it consults the same default certificate directory,
\f1 /System/Library/OpenSSL
\f0 . As before, it is still necessary to manage certificates yourself when you use this Python variant and, with certificate verification now enabled by default, you may now need to take additional steps to ensure your Python programs have access to CA certificates you trust. If you use this Python variant to build standalone applications with third-party tools like {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "https://pypi.python.org/pypi/py2app/"}}{\fldrslt
\f1 py2app}}, you may now need to bundle CA certificates in them or otherwise supply non-default SSL contexts.\

For OS X 10.6+, Apple also provides

\i 64-bit/32-bit 10.6+ python.org variant
\i0 continues to be dynamically linked with Apple's OpenSSL 0.9.8 since it was felt that the loss of the system-provided certificates and management tools outweighs the additional security features provided by newer versions of OpenSSL. This will likely change in future releases of the python.org installers as Apple has deprecated use of the system-supplied OpenSSL libraries.
