PYTHON GRAPPLES WITH APPLE APP STORE REJECTIONS

Apple's macOS App Store is automatically rejecting apps that contain the string 'itms-services' - the URL scheme for apps to ask Apple's iTunes Store to install another app. The string exists in the urllib parser in Python's standard library.

The developers decided to implement a `--with-app-store-compliance` configuration option to remove the problematic code.
