Thanks for this.

+Apple deprecated several scripting language runtimes such as Python 2.7.
This is almost right, it is present in Catalina but will be removed in future
versions. This is inline with the removal of tools like emacs and so expected.
I used more or less the Apple wording. Deprecated means to me that you should
start to investigate alternatives.
Sure.
Ok, good. Do I have to change anything in the patch?
So, I added the recommendation to install Python from python.org. Apple says:
"Use of Python 2.7 isn’t recommended as this version is included in macOS for
compatibility with legacy software. Future versions of macOS won’t include Python 2.7.
Instead, it’s recommended that you run python3 from within Terminal. (51097165)"
What would you recommend to RTEMS users?
I think we should say they use python 3 and python.org. I will have to update
my build box.
We will support python 2 for a while to come as there will be a number of older
hosts in production.
Yes, for the build system Python 2.7 support is on my list.
