Fascinated by everything. I *might* know a 'lil python. All statements are my own; I do not speak for my employer.

HEY.

#MacAdmins and Mac developers

THIS IS IMPORTANT

**REMOVED**

developer.apple.com/documentation/… ALSO:

macOS *does NOT* ship with python 3

It ships with /usr/bin/python3 - which is a stub - that the first time you run it, it will *GUI prompt* you to install Xcode or Developer Tools

Bring. Your. Own. Python 3. For. Apps. Or. IT.

If you want to learn about all the gotchas & corners for MDM-based macOS major upgrades, definitely read @wikiwalk's article

Things that need radars:
- Requires DEP, UAMDM doesn't work
- UX sucks (2 minutes of nothing then reboot?)
- Gated by Apple pushing this notifier
etc. Also:
- device must be plugged in

Definitely reach out to your MDM vendor and ask about support for this.

There's major MDM protocol handholding song-and-dance they'll need to implement for this to even remotely work.

As a reminder to anyone out there that's dealing with the TLS 1.2 cutover on python's pypi on macOS 10.12: You may still get stung by it if you end up unfortunately needing to deal with setuptools / easy_install packages that you can't get through pip. Fortunately, @clburlison took work that I did (github.com/pudquick/tlsssl) and improved upon the build process: github.com/clburlison/ven…

This results in a "tlsssl-1.1.0.pkg" package you can install on 10.12 that will hotfix ssl to support TLS 1.1/1.2 in most situations.
