571.1 Getting and Installing MacPython
58</H1>
59
60<P>
61Mac OS X 10.3 comes with Python 2.3 pre-installed by Apple.
62This installation does not come with the IDE and other additions, however,
63so to get these you need to install the <b class="program">MacPython for Panther additions</b>
64from the MacPython website, <a class="url" href="http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython">http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython</a>.
65
66<P>
67For MacPython 2.4, or for any MacPython on earlier releases of Mac OS X,
68you need to install a full distribution from the same website.
69
70<P>
71What you get after installing is a number of things:
72
73<P>
74
75<UL>
76<LI>A <span class="file">MacPython-2.3</span> folder in your <span class="file">Applications</span>
77 folder. In here you find the PythonIDE Integrated Development Environment;
78 PythonLauncher, which handles double-clicking Python scripts from
79 the Finder; and the Package Manager.
80
81<P>
82</LI>
83<LI>A fairly standard <span class="Unix">Unix</span> commandline Python interpreter in
84 <span class="file">/usr/local/bin/python</span>, but without the usual
85 <span class="file">/usr/local/lib/python</span>.
86
87<P>
88</LI>
89<LI>A framework <span class="file">/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework</span>, where
90 all the action really is, but which you usually do not have to be aware of.
91</LI>
92</UL>
93
94<P>
95To uninstall MacPython you can simply remove these three things.
96
97<P>
98If you use the ``additions'' installer to install on top of an existing
99Apple-Python you will not get the framework and the commandline interpreter,
100as they have been installed by Apple already, in
101<span class="file">/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework</span> and
102<span class="file">/usr/bin/python</span>, respectively. You should in principle never modify
103or delete these, as they are Apple-controlled and may be used by Apple- or
104third-party software.
105
106<P>
107PythonIDE contains an Apple Help Viewer book called "MacPython Help"
108which you can access through its help menu. If you are completely new to
109Python you should start reading the IDE introduction in that document.
110
111<P>
112If you are familiar with Python on other <span class="Unix">Unix</span> platforms you should
113read the section on running Python scripts from the <span class="Unix">Unix</span> shell.
