I’m not sure the limitation is really gone, I still see issues with a number of Cocoa APIs when run from a virtualenv environment, which doesn’t use the Python.app trick, while the same API works with a venv environement (which does use the Python.app trick). One example is <https://github.com/ronaldoussoren/pyobjc/issues/239 <https://github.com/ronaldoussoren/pyobjc/issues/239>>. There is a private API that makes it possible to use GUI libraries outside of an app bundle and that’s used by a number of projects, but I wouldn’t want to use that in Python.
