[3.8] bpo-41100: Support macOS 11 Big Sur and Apple Silicon Macs by ned-deily · Pull Request #25806 · python/cpython (original) (raw)

macOS releases numbering has changed as of macOS 11 Big Sur. Previously, major releases were of the form 10.x, 10.x+1, 10.x+2, etc; as of Big Sur, they are now x, x+1, etc, so, for example, 10.15, 10.15.1, ..., 10.15.7, 11, 11.0.1, 11.1, ..., 12, 12.1, etc. Allow Python to build with single-digit deployment target values. Patch provided by FX Coudert. (cherry picked from commit 5291639)
