Release details:

The macOS 13 SDK includes support for the mkfifoat and mknodat system calls. Using the dir_fd option with either os.mkfifo() or os.mknod() could result in a segfault if cpython is built with the macOS 13 SDK but run on an earlier version of macOS. Prevent this by adding runtime support for detection of these system calls (“weaklinking”) as is done for other newer syscalls on macOS.

general upgrade tutorial: https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/shell/pip+install+-%2A-upgrade

For those of you who simply want python 3 at python you can execute the following in Terminal:

$ ln -s `which python3` /usr/local/bin/python
$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python

ln -s creates a symbolic link from whereever python3 is into /usr/local/bin at python.

update 3.11.1 of dec, 6 -2022

Hello Everyone,

Is there a command that would update\upgrade MacOS Python on Monterey 12.6.3?

% python3 --version
Python 3.9.6
% 

Nope, I am not looking to download from python.org nor use pyenv nor brew because all of these options install yet another Python3 on a totally different directory path hence it duplicates an install. I would simply want to update\upgrade the current MacOS Python3.

Is it possible or has it been locked so that new version of Python3 do not hinder the ability for MacOS to operate?
