57 | 1.1 Getting and Installing MacPython | |
58 | </H1> | |
59 | ||
60 | <P> | |
61 | Mac OS X 10.3 comes with Python 2.3 pre-installed by Apple. | |
62 | This installation does not come with the IDE and other additions, however, | |
63 | so to get these you need to install the <b class="program">MacPython for Panther additions</b> | |
64 | from the MacPython website, <a class="url" href="http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython">http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython</a>. | |
65 | ||
66 | <P> | |
67 | For MacPython 2.4, or for any MacPython on earlier releases of Mac OS X, | |
68 | you need to install a full distribution from the same website. | |
69 | ||
70 | <P> | |
71 | What 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> | |
95 | To uninstall MacPython you can simply remove these three things. | |
96 | ||
97 | <P> | |
98 | If you use the ``additions'' installer to install on top of an existing | |
99 | Apple-Python you will not get the framework and the commandline interpreter, | |
100 | as 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 | |
103 | or delete these, as they are Apple-controlled and may be used by Apple- or | |
104 | third-party software. | |
105 | ||
106 | <P> | |
107 | PythonIDE contains an Apple Help Viewer book called "MacPython Help" | |
108 | which you can access through its help menu. If you are completely new to | |
109 | Python you should start reading the IDE introduction in that document. | |
110 | ||
111 | <P> | |
112 | If you are familiar with Python on other <span class="Unix">Unix</span> platforms you should | |
113 | read the section on running Python scripts from the <span class="Unix">Unix</span> shell. | |
114 | ||
115 | <P> | |
