57 | 1. Using Python on a Macintosh | |
58 | </H1> | |
59 | ||
60 | <P> | |
61 | Python on a Macintosh running Mac OS X is in principle very similar to | |
62 | Python on any other <span class="Unix">Unix</span>platform, but there are a number of additional | |
63 | features such as the IDE and the Package Manager that are worth pointing out. | |
64 | ||
65 | <P> | |
66 | Python on Mac OS 9 or earlier can be quite different from Python on | |
67 | Unix or Windows, but is beyond the scope of this manual, as that platform | |
68 | is no longer supported, starting with Python 2.4. See | |
69 | <a class="url" href="http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython">http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython</a> for installers | |
70 | for the latest 2.3 release for Mac OS 9 and related documentation. | |
