This package will install Python $FULL_VERSION for macOS $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.

Python for macOS consists of the Python programming language interpreter and its batteries-included standard library to allow easy access to macOS features.  It also includes the Python integrated development environment, IDLE.  You can also use the included pip to download and install third-party packages from the Python Package Index. 

At the end of this install, click on Install Certificates to install a set of current SSL root certificates.

macOS 13 Ventura users:  Due to an issue with the macOS Installer app, installation of some third-party packages including this Python package may fail with a vague "The installer encountered an error" message if the Installer app does not have permission to access the folder containing the downloaded installer file, typically in the Downloads folder. Go to System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Files and Folders, then click the mark in front of Installer to expand, and enable Downloads Folder by moving the toggle to the right. See https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103207 for up-to-date information on this issue.

NOTE: This is an alpha test preview of Python 3.12.0, the next feature release of Python 3.  It is not intended for production use.
