# ../IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/Python{-32} is symlinked to
# ..Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/m.n
# /Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python{-32}
# which is the Python interpreter executable
#
# The flow of control is as follows:
# 1. IDLE.app is launched which starts python running the IDLE script
# 2. IDLE script exports
# PYTHONEXECUTABLE = .../IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/Python{-32}
# (the symlink to the framework python)
# 3. IDLE script alters sys.argv and uses os.execve to replace itself with
# idlemain.py running under the symlinked python.
# This is the magic step.
# 4. During interpreter initialization, because PYTHONEXECUTABLE is defined,
# sys.executable may get set to an unuseful value.
#
# (Note that the IDLE script and the setting of PYTHONEXECUTABLE is
# generated automatically by bundlebuilder in the Python 2.x build.
# Also, IDLE invoked via command line, i.e. bin/idle, bypasses all of
# this.)
#
# Now fix up the execution environment before importing idlelib.
# Reset sys.executable to its normal value, the actual path of
# the interpreter in the framework, by following the symlink
# exported in PYTHONEXECUTABLE.

# only confuse the IDLE startup code.
