|
|
10.2. Installation on the Panther preview may work, on
|
||

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
space, ignore the message that it will take zero bytes.
|
||
|
|
|
||

You must install onto your current boot disk, even

|
||
|

things will not work.

MacPython consists of the Python programming language
|
||
|
|
interpreter, plus a set of programs to allow easy
|
||
|
|
access to it for Mac users (an integrated development
|
||
|
|
environment, a Python extension package manager), plus
|
||
|
|
a set of pre-built extension modules that open up
|
||
|
|
specific Macintosh technologies to Python programs
|
||
|
|
(Carbon, AppleScript, Quicktime, more).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The installer puts the applications in MacPython-2.3 in
|
||
|
|
your Applications folder, command-line tools in
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/bin and the underlying machinery in
|
||
|
|
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The PythonIDE application has a Help command that gets
|
||
|
|
you started quickly with MacPython and contains
|
||
|
|
references to other documentation.
