Wed Jun 24 08:16:28 EDT 2020

New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com>:

Apple introduced a new CPU architecture for macOS at WWDC, which is arm64.

Mac/Tools/pythonw.c launches the real python interpreter in a framework build is and is careful to launch that using the same architecture as it is running (to make it possible to use "arch -x86_64 pythonw" to launch the x86_64 variant when available.

The current code does not support ARM64.
