+As of 2020-02-03, Apple has changed how third-party installer packages, like those provided by python.org, are notarized for verification by Gatekeeper and begun enforcing additional requirements such as code signing and use of the hardened runtime.  As of 3.9.0a4, python.org installer packages now meet those additional notarization requirements.  The necessary changes in packaging should be transparent to your use of Python but, in the unlikely event that you encounter changes in behavior between 3.9.0a4 and earlier 3.9.0 alphas in areas like ctypes, importlib, or mmap, please check bugs.python.org for existing reports and, if necessary, open a new issue.\
