...hardware. PPC and ARM support exists, but is not widely used and may be buggy (for example, [100], [84], [101]). Unladen Swallow is known to work on the following operating systems: Linux, Darwin, Windows. Unladen Swallow has received the most testing on Linux and Darwin, though it still builds and passes its tests on Windows. In order to support hardware and software platforms where LLVM's JIT does not work, Unladen Swallow provides a ./configure --without-llvm option. This flag carves out any ...
...Apple's restrictions on the supported hardware platforms make that exceedingly unlikely in practice). Similarly, no changes are proposed for other *nix systems that do not offer the getrandom() syscall. On these systems, os.urandom() will continue to block waiting for the system random number generator to be initialized. While other *nix systems that offer a non-blocking API (other than getrandom()) for requesting random numbers suitable for use in security sensitive applications could potential...
...applet PackageManager. These allow you to easily download and install pretested extension packages either in source or binary form. Only in MacPython-OSX.

The CPython development team has started shipping newer OpenSSLs with the Python available from python.org, but this has the same problem as with Windows. Many systems, including but not limited to Windows and macOS, do not make their system certificate stores available to OpenSSL. This forces use...
