I know that Apple at least is pushing that if any products depend on Python or
other dynamic language runtimes they should be bundling the runtime with the app
and not expecting the system to provide it.  And in that case, bundle whatever
version you want, probably the very latest Python.  Further to this, Apple has
deprecated that it is bundling these things with the MacOS. -- Darren Duncan

Yeah, that is true. We stopped using the system Python on macOS quite some time ago now for that reason. Our packages currently use 3.8, which we bundle.

That does remind me though, that I should cleanup the build script as it does still have support for the system Python in it.
