Printed on June 14, 2020 using Print My Blog STARTING THE SWITCH TO PYTHON 3 28 JUNE 2019 CATEGORIES: MAC OS TAGS: PYTHON With Python (and other scripting languages) being dropped from deprecated in macOS Catalina*, and Python 2.7 maintenance ending in 2020, it’s time to start updating any Python 2 scripts so they are compatible with Python 3. This might seem like a big task, and it could very well be for your code-base, however there are a few things you can do to start the process. If you don’t already have Python 3 installed on your Mac, you’ll need to get it installed. You can install it using homebrew , or you can install it from the Python Releases for Mac OS X page. It’s also provided by Apple, but currently you need an Apple Developer account to access those command line tool betas. There’s a great guide on what to do and what not to do when installing Python 3 on macOS here. No matter which way you get it installed, your Python 3 interpreter will be in a new location, and you’ll de˚nitely want to update pip3 for package management. You can also expect a lot, if not all of the “standard” packages that Apple included with their Python 2.7 framework to not be installed, so you’ll need to make sure you’ve installed those as well. This is a great opportunity to start using virtual environments.

  • Apple in Education Data and Privacy Overview for Schools
    Apple in Education Data and Privacy Overview for Schools Education has always been part of Apple’s DNA. We believe technology has the power to transform every classroom and engage every student. Our products are designed to expand how teachers teach and students learn with access to powerful apps and engaging content on the devices they love to use. We also know how important security and privacy is to protect the data students create, store, and access throughout the learning experience. Security and privacy are fundamental to the design of all Apple hardware, software, and services. We take an integrated approach to ensure that every aspect of the experience has security and privacy built in. This approach considers the privacy and security of all users including those within an education setting such as teachers, faculty, staff and students. We have also created features and services that are designed specifically for education, including Apple School Manager, Managed Apple IDs, and Shared iPad. These capabilities are built with the same integrated approach and with additional consideration for the specific security and privacy needs of students and institutions. This overview covers how Managed Apple IDs and our related education features and services handle student data and privacy. You can use this overview to communicate to parents about how their students’ data is secured by Apple. Apple’s Commitment to Student Privacy Apple will never track, share, or sell student information for advertising or marketing purposes. We don’t build profiles of students based on their email content or web browsing habits. We also don’t collect, use, or disclose personal student information other than to provide educational services.

In addition, OS X is the only UNIX environment that natively runs Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, and thousands of other consumer applications—all side by side with traditional command-line UNIX applications. Tight integration with hardware— from the sleek MacBook Air to the powerful Mac Pro—makes OS X the platform of choice for an emerging generation of power users. This document explores the powerful industry standards and breakthrough innovations in the core technologies that power Apple’s industry-leading user experiences. We walk you through the entire software stack, from firmware and kernel to iCloud and developer tools, to help you understand the many things OS X does for you every time you use your Mac.
