| This package will install MacPython $FULL_VERSION for Mac OS X |
| $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET for the following |
| architecture(s): $ARCHITECTURES. |
| |
| Separate installers are available for older versions |
| of Mac OS X, see the homepage, below. |
| |
| Installation requires approximately $INSTALL_SIZE MB of disk |
| space, ignore the message that it will take zero bytes. |
| |
| You must install onto your current boot disk, even |
| though the installer does not enforce this, otherwise |
| 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, an applet builder), 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 "Python $VERSION" |
| in your Applications folder, command-line tools in |
| /usr/local/bin and the underlying machinery in |
| $PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR. |
