+\f0\b0 \cf0 \ulnone Python 2.7 has now reached end-of-life. As of Python 3.7.8, the
+\f3 Python Launcher
+\f0 app now has
+\f3 python3
+\f0 factory defaults. Also, the
+\f3 Current
+\f0 link in the
+\f3 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
+\f0 directory is now updated to point to the Python 3 being installed; previously, only Python 2 installs updated
+\f3 Current
+\f0 . This change might affect developers using the framework to embed Python in their applications. If another version is desired for embedding, the
+\f3 Current
+\f0 symlink can be changed manually without affecting 3.7.x behavior.\
