Python for Mac is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days.

Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code.

Python runs on macOS, Windows, Linux/Unix, OS/2, Amiga, Palm Handhelds, and Nokia mobile phones. The tool has also been ported to the Java and .NET virtual machines.

The app is distributed under an OSI-approved open source license that makes it free to use, even for commercial products.

Some of its key distinguishing features include:
  • Very clear, readable syntax
  • Strong introspection capabilities
  • Intuitive object orientation
  • Natural expression of procedural code
  • Full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
  • Exception-based error handling
  • Very high level dynamic data types
  • Extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task
  • Extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython)
  • Embeddable within applications as a scripting interface

What's new in this version:

Windows:
- Avoid distributing modified pyconfig.h in the traditional installer. Extension module builds must always specify Py_GIL_DISABLED when targeting the free-threaded runtime.

Tests:
- Add test.support.subTests()

Library:
- Do not normalize locale name ‘C.UTF-8’ to ‘en_US.UTF-8’
- Restore support of integer-like objects with __index__() in random.getrandbits()
- Raise a correct exception for values greater than 0x7fffffff for the BINSTRING opcode in the C implementation of pickle
- Backported bugfixes in zipfile.Path from zipp 3.23. Fixed .name, .stem and other basename-based properties on Windows when working with a zipfile on disk
- email: Fix TypeError in email.utils.decode_params() when sorting RFC 2231 continuations that contain an unnumbered section
- email: Fix parsing of email message ID with invalid domain
- Fix libc thread safety issues with os by replacing getlogin with getlogin_r re-entrant version
- Fix formatting issues in json.dump() when both indent and skipkeys are used

Core and Builtins:
- Roll back changes to generator and list comprehensions that went into 3.13.4 to fix gh-127682, but which involved semantic and bytecode changes not appropriate for a bugfix release

C API:
- Fix Py_RETURN_NONE, Py_RETURN_TRUE and Py_RETURN_FALSE macros in the limited C API 3.11 and older: don’t treat Py_None, Py_True and Py_False as immortal
- Implement PyObject_DelAttr() and PyObject_DelAttrString() as macros in the limited C API 3.12 and older
