python-3.12.6-macos11.pkg
Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.
Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Python 3.12.6.
For those interested in downloading the most recent release of Python for Mac or reading our review, simply click here.
All old versions distributed on our website are completely virus-free and available for download at no cost.

What's new in this version:
macOS:
- Updated macOS installer build to use OpenSSL 3.0.15
Tools/Demos:
- Update GitHub CI workflows to use OpenSSL 3.0.15 and multissltests to use 3.0.15, 3.1.7, and 3.2.3
Tests:
- Skip test_gdb if the binary is relocated by BOLT
Security:
- Upgrade libexpat to 2.6.3
- Remove backtracking from tarfile header parsing for hdrcharset, PAX, and GNU sparse headers.
Library:
- Applied a more surgical fix for malformed payloads in zipfile.Path causing infinite loops (gh-122905) without breaking contents using legitimate characters.
- xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.extend() and Element assignment no longer hide the internal exception if an erronous generator is passed
-Preserve relative path in URL without netloc in urllib.parse.urlunsplit() and urllib.parse.urlunparse()
- Fix quadratic complexity in parsing "-quoted cookie values with backslashes by http.cookies
- zipfile.Path.glob now correctly matches directories instead of silently omitting them
- zipfile.Path objects now sanitize names from the zipfile
- Fixed double-free when using gc.get_referents() with a freed asyncio.Future iterator
- logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler no longer rolls over empty log files
- Fix the typing.TypeVar constructor when name is passed by keyword
- Remove internal frames from tracebacks shown in code.InteractiveInterpreter with non-default sys.excepthook(). Save correct tracebacks in sys.last_traceback and update __traceback__ attribute of sys.last_value and sys.last_exc.
- csv now correctly parses numeric fields (when used with csv.QUOTE_NONNUMERIC) which start with an escape character.
- asyncio.futures.Future.set_exception() now transforms StopIteration into RuntimeError instead of hanging or other misbehavior
- webbrowser honors OS preferred browser on Linux when its desktop entry name contains the text of a known browser name.
- email.utils.getaddresses() and email.utils.parseaddr() now return ('', '') 2-tuples in more situations where invalid email addresses are encountered instead of potentially inaccurate values. Add optional strict parameter to these two functions: use strict=False to get the old behavior, accept malformed inputs. getattr(email.utils, 'supports_strict_parsing', False) can be use to check if the strict paramater is available
-runpy.run_path() now decodes path-like objects, making sure __file__ and sys.argv[0] of the module being run are always strings.
IDLE:
- Add explicit black IDLE Hovertip foreground color needed for recent macOS. Fixes Sonoma showing unreadable white on pale yellow
Core and Builtins:
- Prevent Parser/myreadline race condition from segfaulting on multi-threaded use
- Extend the deprecation period for bool inversion (~) by two years.
- Fix valgrind warning by initializing the f-string buffers to 0 in the tokenizer
- Fix too-wide source location in exception tracebacks coming from broken iterables in comprehensions
- Fix a bug where pattern matching code could emit a JUMP_FORWARD with no source location
- Fix a potential use-after-free in STORE_ATTR_WITH_HINT
- Fix a crash that occurred when a PyStructSequence was deallocated after its type’s dictionary was cleared by the GC. The type’s tp_basicsize now accounts for non-sequence fields that aren’t included in the Py_SIZE of the sequence.
-Fix source locations of instructions generated for with statements
Build:
- Propagate the value of LDFLAGS to LDCXXSHARED in sysconfig
