This could cause failures in non-Distutils subprocesses + and was unreliable since tests or user programs could modify the interpreter + environment after Distutils set it. Instead, have Distutils set the the + deployment target only in the environment of each build subprocess. It is + still possible to globally override the default by setting + MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET before launching the interpreter; its value must be + greater or equal to the default value, the value with which the interpreter + was built. + - Issue #11802: The cache in filecmp now has a maximum size of 100 so that it won't grow without bound. -- Repository URL: http://hg.python.org/cpython
