| 2 | $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET for the following |
| 3 | architecture(s): $ARCHITECTURES. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Separate installers are available for older versions |
| 6 | of Mac OS X, see the homepage, below. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Installation requires approximately $INSTALL_SIZE MB of disk |
| 9 | space, ignore the message that it will take zero bytes. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | You must install onto your current boot disk, even |
| 12 | though the installer does not enforce this, otherwise |
| 13 | things will not work. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | MacPython consists of the Python programming language |
| 16 | interpreter, plus a set of programs to allow easy |
| 17 | access to it for Mac users (an integrated development |
| 18 | environment, an applet builder), plus a set of pre-built |
| 19 | extension modules that open up specific Macintosh technologies |
| 20 | to Python programs (Carbon, AppleScript, Quicktime, more). |
| 21 | |
| 22 | The installer puts the applications in "MacPython $VERSION" |
| 23 | in your Applications folder, command-line tools in |
| 24 | /usr/local/bin and the underlying machinery in |
| 25 | $PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR. |
