Adding MacPython online help. Only the basics are installed, with a
placeholder for the full documentation (pointing to the online docs
and explaining you can also install them locally to make them
searchable, etc).

The first thing we'd like to do is actually start running it! +We can do this by opening up the IDE, which should be in Applications +under the newly-created MacPython program folder: </p><p><img +src="loading_ide.gif" border=1></p> + +<hr><br style="page-break-after: always"> + +<p>The IDE starts up and shows an interactive window: </p> +<p><img src="new_ide_window.gif"></p> + +<p>If the window does not show up (because you have run the IDE before +and closed it: it remembers that between runs) open it with the <tt>Windows->Python Interactive</tt> +menu entry. <p> + +<p>This is the interactive window to the IDE, it allows us to enter +commands directly into Python, and as soon as we enter a command, +Python will execute it and spit out its result back to us. We'll be +using this interactive window a lot when we're exploring Python: it's +very nice because we get back our results immediately. If it helps, +we can think of it as a very powerful calculator.</p> + +<hr><br style="page-break-after: always"> + +<p>Let's try something now!

Also, we notice that as we enter commands, Python will +give us its output immediately. +</p> + +<hr><br style="page-break-after: always"> + +<p>Ok, this seems pretty simple enough. Let's try a few more +commands. If we look below:</p> + +<p><img src="simple_commands.gif" border=1></p> + +<p>we'll see the result of running a few more commands. Don't worry +too much about knowing the exact rules for making programs yet: the +idea is that we can experiment with Python by typing in commands. If +things don't work, then we can correct the mistake, and try it +again.</p> + +<p>If you got to this point, you now know enough to start playing +around with Python! Crack open one of the tutorials from the <a +href="http://python.org/doc/Newbies.html">Python For Beginners</a> web +page, and start exploring with the interpreter. No time limit here. *grin*</p> + +<hr><br style="page-break-after: always"> + +<p>Now that we've paddled long enough, we might be asking: ok, this is +neat, but if we close down Python and start it up again, how do we get +the computer to remember what we typed?</p> + +<p>The solution is a little subtle: we can't directly save what's on +the interpreter window, because it will include both our commands and +the system's responses. What we'd like is to make a prepared file, +with just our own commands, and to be able to save that file as a +document. When we're in the mood, we can later open that file and +"run" Python over it, saving us the time of retyping the whole +thing over again.</p> + +<p>Let's try this. First, let's start with a clean slate by opening +up a new window.</p> + +<p><img src="making_new_window.gif" border=1></p> + +<p>Here's the result of that menu command:</p> + +<p><img src="new_window_made.gif" border=1></p> + +<p>We notice that there's nothing in this new window. What this means +is that this file is purely for our commands: Python won't interject +with its own responses as we enter the program, that is, not until we +tell it to. This is called an edit window, and it is very similar +to edit windows in other editors such as TextEdit or BBEdit.</p> + +<hr><br style="page-break-after: always"> + +<p>What we wanted to do before was save some of the stuff we had +tried out on the interpreter window. Let's do that by typing (or +copy/pasting) those commands into our Program window.</p> +<p><img src="entering_in_new_window.gif" border=1></p> + +<p>Ok, we're done with copying and pasting. +One big thing to notice +is that we're careful to get rid of the "<tt>>>></tt>" +prompts because there's not really part of our program. The +interpreter uses them just to tell us that we're in the interpreter, +but now that we're editing in a separate file, we can remove the +artifacts that the interpreter introduces. +I have added +an extra empty print statement so our output ends with a newline. +</p> + +<hr><br style="page-break-after: always"> + +<p>Let's save the file now. The Save command is located under the File menu: +<p><img src="saving_edited_file.gif" border=1></p> + + +<hr><br style="page-break-after: always"> + +<p>Now that we've saved the program, how do we run the program? Use the +Run All button at the top of the editing window, or the equivalent +menu command <tt>Python->Run Window</tt>. The output will appear in a new +window called Output Window. </p> + +<p>By the way, one thing to notice is that I made a typo: I didn't +quite copy exactly what I had entered in the interpreter window +before. Does this affect things?</p> + +<p><img src="syntax_error.gif" border=1></p> + +<p>Ooops. Here is an example of what Python calls a "syntax error". +Python sees that we made a typo, and warns us to take a much closer +look at our program. The designers of Python feel that having the +system point out the error is better than trying to guess at what the +programmer meant. Press the Edit button and you will be brought to +the trouble spot. </p> + +<p>Python is often perceptive enough to direct us toward the problem, +and in this case, it's telling us that we forgot to put something at +the end of this line. In this case, we need to add an additional +quotation mark. Let's add that in now.</p> + +<p>Other errors, which usually occur later, when your program has +already done something, result in a different dialog that allows you +to look at variables and such in addition to only showing you where +the error occurred. </p> + +<hr><br style="page-break-after: always"> + +<p>Ok, let's say that we fixed that silly typo. Let's try to run the +program again. This gives us a new window, the Output window, showing +the output of our program:</p> +<p><img src="output_window.gif" border=1></p> + +<hr><br style="page-break-after: always"> + +<p>As we play with Python, we'll find ourselves "switching modes" +between the Interpreter window and the Program window. However, +if we try anything more complicated than two or three lines it +is often a good idea to work in an edit window, and align +your edit and output window such that you can see them at the same time.</p> + +<p>This is pretty much all we need to know about the MacPython IDE to actually do +interesting things. There is a lot more to the IDE, here is a quick +breakdown of things to see and explore:</p> + +<ul> + <li>All sorts of edit commands such as find and replace can be + used in the editor windows. See the edit menu.</li> + + <li>The bottom of the edit window has the scrollbar, but at the + left are two navigation devices: a line number box that you can also type + numbers into to quickly go to a specific place, and a popup menu + that lists all classes, functions and methods in your file.</li> + + <li>Above the vertical scrollbar you find another popup menu, this + influences how the Run command works. You should try the debugger + some time! If you do, and you wonder what the new small column on + the left of your script is: you can click in it to make Python stop + when it reaches this line so you can inspect things. The profiler + is also nifty: it shows you where your program is spending its time.</li> + + <li>The module browser (<tt>Python->Module Browser</tt>) shows you all Python + modules currently loaded. You can look at the contents of the module with + Browse... and (for modules written in Python) at the source with Source...</li> + + <li>The Package Manager (under the <tt>File</tt> menu, also available as a + separate application) allows you to easily install Python extension packages + for all sorts of things: scientific computation, image processing, + building user interfaces and more. </li> + + <li>The <tt>Help</tt> menu gives you quick access to both the Python documentation, + if you have installed it with the Package Manager, and the Apple Developer + documentation. </li> + + <li>The <tt>File->Save as Applet</tt> menu command saves your script as a MacOSX + application. This allows you to create a script that you can drop files on, + and much more. The IDE itself is such an applet, completely written in Python. </li> + +</ul> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/loading_ide.gif b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/loading_ide.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e7cca3d --- /dev/null +++ b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/loading_ide.gif diff --git a/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/making_new_window.gif b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/making_new_window.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d2022c8 --- /dev/null +++ b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/making_new_window.gif diff --git a/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/new_ide_window.gif b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/new_ide_window.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7268a84 --- /dev/null +++ b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/new_ide_window.gif diff --git a/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/new_window_made.gif b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/new_window_made.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..dd6cca3 --- /dev/null +++ b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/new_window_made.gif diff --git a/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/output_window.gif b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/output_window.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..568dcb5 --- /dev/null +++ b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/output_window.gif diff --git a/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/saving_edited_file.gif b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/saving_edited_file.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6e5c926 --- /dev/null +++ b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/saving_edited_file.gif diff --git a/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/simple_commands.gif b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/simple_commands.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1dba570 --- /dev/null +++ b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/simple_commands.gif diff --git a/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/syntax_error.gif b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/syntax_error.gif Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2e95b87 --- /dev/null +++ b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/macpython_ide_tutorial/syntax_error.gif diff --git a/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/packman.html b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/packman.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..66eec88 --- /dev/null +++ b/Mac/OSXResources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/packman.html @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> +<html lang="en"> +<head> + <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> + <title>Python Package Manager</title> + <meta name="generator" content="BBEdit 6.5.3"> + <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="pythonsmall.gif"> + <META NAME="AppleIcon" CONTENT="pythonsmall.gif"> +</head> +<body> +<h1>Installing additional Python Packages</h1> + <table> + <tr> + <td> + <img src="PackageManager.gif" width="128" height="128" align="top"> + </td> + <td> + <p>The Python Package Manager helps you installing additional + packages that enhance Python.
