+\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.\
