[QGIS-Developer] Any plan for alternates to Python 3.6 dependency on macOS QGIS 3?

[Anthony DeBarros]

Many thanks for the suggestion to use the Lutra Consulting installer. It
worked perfectly and it didn't upset anything else on my system. I'd liken
it quite favorably to the approach used by https://postgresapp.com/ for
PostgreSQL installs on Macs. I hope you'll consider an approach this simple
for your "official" macOS build.

Best,
Anthony
