The commandline scripts /usr/local/bin/python and pythonw
can be used to run non-GUI and GUI python scripts from the command line, respectively.
6. Odds and ends.
6. How do I create a binary distribution?
-----------------------------------------
Note: this section is work-in-progress.
First, to make sure there's no contamination, it is best to remove your existing Python
installation (clear out /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /Applications/Python).
Also, after build/install is finished check that nothing has shown up in those two locations.
Create a subdirectory of the main python directory, say build-pythondist. In there, run
../configure --enable-framework=/tmp/pythondist/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework \
LDFLAGS=-Wl,-x
make
make frameworkinstall
This installs a complete distribution set in /tmp/pythondist: in a framework build all other
pathnames are computed from the framework pathname.
Note that the unix tools in /tmp/pythondist are wrong, these have to be removed, and the
installer post-install script should recreate them on the target system. Also, the .pyc and
.pyo files need to be removed:
rm -rf /tmp/pythondist/usr
python.exe ../Mac/script/zappycfiles.py /tmp/pythondist
TBD: find out how to make a .pkg from here.
TBD: documentation.

The PythonLauncher is actually an Objective C Cocoa app built with Project Builder.
