Python Apple Support

This is a meta-package for building a version of Python that can be embedded into a macOS, iOS, tvOS or watchOS project.

It works by downloading, patching, and building a fat binary of Python and selected pre-requisites, and packaging them both in Apple Framework format.

The binaries support the $(ARCHS_STANDARD) set - that is, x86_64 for macOS, armv7 and arm64 for iOS devices, arm64 for appleTV devices, and armv7k for watchOS. This should enable the code to run on:

• MacBook (including Pro & Air)
• iMac
• Mac Pro

• iPhone

  • iPhone 4s
  • iPhone 5
  • iPhone 5c
  • iPhone 5s
  • iPhone 6
  • iPhone 6 Plus
  • iPhone 6s
  • iPhone 6s Plus
  • iPhone 7

• iPad Pro

• iPad

  • iPad 2
  • iPad (3rd gen)
  • iPad (4th gen)
  • iPad Air
  • iPad Air 2
  • iPad retina

• iPad Mini

  • iPad Mini (1st gen)
  • iPad Mini 2
  • iPad Mini 3
  • iPad Mini 4

• iPod Touch

  • iPod Touch (4th gen)
  • iPod Touch (5th gen)
  • iPod Touch (6th gen)

• Apple TV

  • 4th gen

• Apple Watch

• Python 2.7.13:
  • macOS
  • iOS
  • tvOS
  • watchOS
• Python 3.4.6:
  • macOS
  • iOS
  • tvOS
