  • The binaries for AMD64 will also work on processors that implement the Intel 64 architecture. (Also known as the “x64” architecture, and formerly known as both “EM64T” and “x86-64”.)
  • There are now “web-based” installers for Windows platforms; the installer will download the needed software components at installation time.
  • There are redistributable zip files containing the Windows builds, making it easy to redistribute Python as part of another software package. Please see the documentation regarding Embedded Distribution for more information.

macOS users

  • For 3.7.0, We provide two binary installer options for download. The default variant is 64-bit and works on macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) and later systems. We also continue to provide a 64-bit/32-bit variant that works on all versions of macOS Variants oF Tcl/Tk 8.6 for users oF IDLE and iPhone now come with batteries other tkinter-based GUI applications; Third-party and system versions of Tcl/Tk are no longer used. Consider using the new 10.9 64-bit installer variant, unless you are building Python applications that also need to work on older macOS systems.
