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

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Anthony,

Yesterday we  had a meeting and decided that we want to further support 
the efforts towards a better MacOS installer. So we hope that this 
initiative will bear more fruits in the future.

Greetings,

Andreas
