-\f0\b0  may not, either.  macOS 10.6 Snow Leopard was released in 2009 and has not been supported by Apple for many years including lack of security updates.  It is becoming increasingly difficult to ensure new Python features and bug fixes are compatible with such old systems.  Note that, due to recent Apple installer packaging changes, the 10.6+ installer pkg we provide can no longer be opened by the Apple system installer application on 10.6;  10.7 and 10.8 are not affected.  We believe that there is now very little usage of this installer variant and so we would like to focus our resources on supporting newer systems.  We do not plan to intentionally break Python support on 10.6 through 10.8 and we will consider bug fixes for problems found when building from source on those systems.  
-\f1\b macOS 10.15 Catalina
-\f0\b0  removes support for running 32-bit architecture programs; we do not recommend trying to use the 10.6+ variant on it and it may not install on 10.15 systems without intervention. \
