| This package will install Python $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. |
| |
| Python consists of the Python programming language |
| interpreter, plus a set of programs to allow easy |
| access to it for Mac users including an integrated development |
| environment, IDLE, plus a set of pre-built extension modules |
| that open up specific Macintosh technologies to Python programs. |
| |
| The installer puts the applications in "Python $VERSION" |
| in your Applications folder, and the underlying machinery in |
| $PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR. It can optionally place |
| links to the command-line tools in /usr/local as well, |
| by default you have to add the "bin" directory inside |
| the framework to you shell's search path. |
