Good news for the M1-wielding data scientists.
With the release of the latest version of Python, the popular language now officially supports the M1-powered machines. Apple announced its plans to submit patches to enable Python 3 to build natively on Apple Silicon back in August. The new M1-powered machines have impressed everyone with their performance, and Python developers have been wanting a piece of the pie. Python v3.9.1 becomes the first version of the language to support macOS 11 Big Sur. The developers note that the release is made possible thanks to Xcode 11, using which they can build Universal 2 binaries that work on Apple Silicon.
