I heard that python is natively available for m1 mac. I download the macOS 64-bit universal2 installer, But it does not works, when I am going to install it, it asks me to install rosetta. When python will be natively available for m1 mac?
If you download the Python.org Universal2 installer for Python 3.9.6 from this link:
It will install just fine on macOS 11.5.2 without any Rosetta2 requirement. You should update the PATH in your ~/.zshrc file to be able to locate the distribution binaries and libraries:
export PATH=".:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin:usr/local/bin:$PATH"
and following that edit:
source ~/.zshrc

Just to add, the Python 2.7.16 that ships with macOS 11.5.2, and the Python3 (ancient v3.8.2) that is installed by Xcode, or the command-line tools for Xcode, are both built by Apple as universal2 binaries, which etresoft has already stated. Neither of these versions is a Universal2 build directly from Python.org, which only starting supplying Universal2 builds with Python 3.8.10 and 3.9.1 respectively.
Sure, and after reading the ReadMe.rtf in the Python-3.9.6-macos11.pkg, the following is stated:
python.org binaries for macOS have been provided via a downloadable installer that supports the Intel 64 architecture on macOS 10.9 and newer. This installer variant has been the default download for 3.9.1; it will install and run on all Macs that run macOS 10.9 or later, including 11.0 (Big Sur). This variant should run transparently on new Apple Silicon Macs using Apple's Rosetta 2 emulation.
I very likely installed Rosetta2 for some other application reason and was then never challenged by Python installers. This RTF file is found in the /Applications/Python 3.9 folder once the installation is done.
When the installer asks the OP to install Rosetta2, then they should agree to it, so the installer can run and finish. Alternatively, one can install Rosetta from the Terminal, as pointed out in this Der Flounder article.
Python is available as a native executable. Perhaps the installer is running some other app that isn’t native. Regardless, this would be a question for the Python developers.
I tried It but not working, it ask me to install Rosetta.
The installer might need rosetta. Why not install it?
I can say from first-hand knowledge that if you download and install the Universal2 Python 3,9.6 from Python.org that its installer will not request Rosetta2.
Don't you already have Rosetta installed?
