This directory contains a Makefile that will create a proof-of-concept
|
||
|
Mac OS X application for Python. The process is far from streamlined,
|
||
|
and it will definitely change in future releases of Python, but I wanted to
|
||
|
include this in the current distribution so people could play with it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To create a fullblown Python.app proceed as follows.
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. In the main Python source directory configure python with
|
||
|
configure --enable-framework --with-suffix
|
||
|
2. Do a "make clean" if you did a previous build, then "make".
|
||
|
3. Install this as a framework with "make frameworkinstall". This puts a Python
|
||
|
framework into /Library/Frameworks.
|
||
|
4. Come back here (Mac/OSX) and build and install the application,
|
||
|
with "make install".
|
||
|
5. It is probably a good idea to add the Mac-specific modules to the framework,
|
||
|
with "make installmacsubtree". This puts a MacPython lib directory into
|
||
|
sys.prefix/Mac/Lib. Again, this is a temporary measure.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You are now done. In your Applications you should have a "Python", with the icon
|
||
|
being a falling 16 Ton weight with a shadow under it. You can drop Python scripts
|
||
|
on this and the will be run, in a full-windowing environment. Note that you
|
||
|
do not get sys.stdin, and that sys.stdout goes to the console (Use
|
||
|
Applications/Utilities/Console to see it).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Something to take note of is that the ".rsrc" files in the distribution are not
|
||
|
actually resource files, they're AppleSingle encoded resource files.
