[python-committers] No Travis-CI on OS X?

[Brett Cannon]

So Donald is right that the reason we don't have macOS builds through
Travis is due to the fact that back in February they had a horrible backlog
and added too much time to the total build.

But as Alex pointed out, Travis has subsequently increased their macOS
fleet and given the Python organization a better capacity (it should be
mentioned all we can get from travis without money is the ability to run
more concurrent jobs, but that doesn't solve the problem if the macOS fleet
in Travis is itself the bottleneck).

If someone wants to author a PR we could test the time on the master branch
and see what tweaks (if any) make the time added acceptable to everyone.
