Both installer variants include private copies of OpenSSL 1.0.2.Binary extension modules (including wheels) built for earlier versions of 3.6.x with the 10.6 variant should continue to work with either 3.6.8 variant without recompilation. Consider using the 10.9 64-bit-only installer variant unless you are building Python applications that also need to work on older macOS systems. As of 3.6.8, both variants now come with batteries-included versions oF Tcl/Tk 8.6 for users of IDLE and other tkinter-based GUI applications third-party and system versions of Tcl/Tk are no longer used. We also continue to provide a 64-bit/32-bit variant that works on all versions of macOS from 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on. The default variant is 64-bit-only and works on macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) and later systems. For Python 3.6 releases, we provide two binary installer options for download.Please see What’s New In Python 3.6 for more information. PEP 529, Change Windows filesystem encoding to UTF-8.
