-\chapter{Using Python on a Macintosh \label{using}}
-\sectionauthor{Bob Savage}{bobsavage@mac.com}
-
-Python on a Macintosh running Mac OS X is in principle very similar to
-Python on any other \UNIX{} platform, but there are a number of additional
-features such as the IDE and the Package Manager that are worth pointing out.
-
-Python on Mac OS 9 or earlier can be quite different from Python on
-\UNIX{} or Windows, but is beyond the scope of this manual, as that platform
-is no longer supported, starting with Python 2.4. See
-\url{http://www.cwi.nl/\textasciitilde jack/macpython} for installers
-for the latest 2.3 release for Mac OS 9 and related documentation.
-
-\section{Getting and Installing MacPython \label{getting-OSX}}
-
-Mac OS X 10.4 comes with Python 2.3 pre-installed by Apple. However, you are
-encouraged to install the most recent version of Python from the Python website
-(\url{http://www.python.org}). A ``universal binary'' build of Python 2.5, which
-runs natively on the Mac's new Intel and legacy PPC CPU's, is available there.
-
-What you get after installing is a number of things:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item A \file{MacPython 2.5} folder in your \file{Applications} folder. In here
-  you find IDLE, the development environment that is a standard part of official
-  Python distributions; PythonLauncher, which handles double-clicking Python
-  scripts from the Finder; and the ``Build Applet'' tool, which allows you to
-  package Python scripts as standalone applications on your system.
-
-\item A framework \file{/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework}, which includes
-  the Python executable and libraries. The installer adds this location to your
-  shell path. To uninstall MacPython, you can simply remove these three
-  things. A symlink to the Python executable is placed in /usr/local/bin/.
-\end{itemize}
-
-The Apple-provided build of Python is installed in
-\file{/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework} and \file{/usr/bin/python},
-respectively. You should never modify or delete these, as they are
-Apple-controlled and are used by Apple- or third-party software.
-
-IDLE includes a help menu that allows you to access Python documentation. If you
-are completely new to Python you should start reading the tutorial introduction
-in that document.
-
-If you are familiar with Python on other \UNIX{} platforms you should read the
-section on running Python scripts from the \UNIX{} shell.
-
-
-\subsection{How to run a Python script}
-
-Your best way to get started with Python on Mac OS X is through the IDLE
-integrated development environment, see section \ref{IDE} and use the Help menu
-when the IDE is running.
-
-If you want to run Python scripts from the Terminal window command line or from
-the Finder you first need an editor to create your script. Mac OS X comes with a
-number of standard \UNIX{} command line editors, \program{vim} and
-\program{emacs} among them. If you want a more Mac-like editor, \program{BBEdit}
-or \program{TextWrangler} from Bare Bones Software (see
-\url{http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.shtml}) are good choices, as
-is \program{TextMate} (see \url{http://macromates.com/}). Other editors include
-\program{Gvim} (\url{http://macvim.org}) and \program{Aquamacs}
-(\url{http://aquamacs.org}).
-
-To run your script from the Terminal window you must make sure that
-\file{/usr/local/bin} is in your shell search path.
-
-To run your script from the Finder you have two options:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item Drag it to \program{PythonLauncher}
-\item Select \program{PythonLauncher} as the default application to open your
-  script (or any .py script) through the finder Info window and double-click it.
-  \program{PythonLauncher} has various preferences to control how your script is
-  launched. Option-dragging allows you to change these for one invocation, or
-  use its Preferences menu to change things globally.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-\subsection{Running scripts with a GUI \label{osx-gui-scripts}}
-
-With older versions of Python, there is one Mac OS X quirk that you need to be
-aware of: programs that talk to the Aqua window manager (in other words,
-anything that has a GUI) need to be run in a special way. Use \program{pythonw}
-instead of \program{python} to start such scripts.
-
-With Python 2.5, you can use either \program{python} or \program{pythonw}.
-
-\subsection{Configuration}
-
-Python on OS X honors all standard \UNIX{} environment variables such as
-\envvar{PYTHONPATH}, but setting these variables for programs started from the
-Finder is non-standard as the Finder does not read your \file{.profile} or
-\file{.cshrc} at startup. You need to create a file \file{\textasciitilde
-  /.MacOSX/environment.plist}. See Apple's Technical Document QA1067 for
-details.
-
-For more information on installation Python packages in MacPython, see section
-\ref{mac-package-manager}, ``Installing Additional Python Packages.''
-
-
-\section{The IDE\label{IDE}}
-
-MacPython ships with the standard IDLE development environment. A good
-introduction to using IDLE can be found at
-\url{http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/idle_intro/index.html}.
-
-
-\section{Installing Additional Python Packages \label{mac-package-manager}}
-
-There are several methods to install additional Python packages:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \url{http://pythonmac.org/packages/} contains selected compiled packages
-  for Python 2.5, 2.4, and 2.3.
-\item Packages can be installed via the standard Python distutils mode
-  (\samp{python setup.py install}).
-\item Many packages can also be installed via the \program{setuptools}
-  extension.
-\end{itemize}
-
-
-\section{GUI Programming on the Mac}
-
-There are several options for building GUI applications on the Mac with Python.
-
-\emph{PyObjC} is a Python binding to Apple's Objective-C/Cocoa framework, which
-is the foundation of most modern Mac development. Information on PyObjC is
-available from \url{http://pybojc.sourceforge.net}.
-
-The standard Python GUI toolkit is \module{Tkinter}, based on the cross-platform
-Tk toolkit (\url{http://www.tcl.tk}). An Aqua-native version of Tk is bundled
-with OS X by Apple, and the latest version can be downloaded and installed from
-\url{http://www.activestate.com}; it can also be built from source.
-
-\emph{wxPython} is another popular cross-platform GUI toolkit that runs natively
-on Mac OS X. Packages and documentation are available from
-\url{http://www.wxpython.org}.
-
-\emph{PyQt} is another popular cross-platform GUI toolkit that runs natively on
-Mac OS X. More information can be found at
-\url{http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/}.
-
-
-\section{Distributing Python Applications on the Mac}
-
-The ``Build Applet'' tool that is placed in the MacPython 2.5 folder is fine for
-packaging small Python scripts on your own machine to run as a standard Mac
-application. This tool, however, is not robust enough to distribute Python
-applications to other users.
-
-The standard tool for deploying standalone Python applications on the Mac is
-\program{py2app}. More information on installing and using py2app can be found
-at \url{http://undefined.org/python/\#py2app}.
-
-\section{Application Scripting}
-
-Python can also be used to script other Mac applications via Apple's Open
-Scripting Architecture (OSA); see
-\url{http://appscript.sourceforge.net}. Appscript is a high-level, user-friendly
-Apple event bridge that allows you to control scriptable Mac OS X applications
-using ordinary Python scripts. Appscript makes Python a serious alternative to
-Apple's own \emph{AppleScript} language for automating your Mac. A related
-package, \emph{PyOSA}, is an OSA language component for the Python scripting
-language, allowing Python code to be executed by any OSA-enabled application
-(Script Editor, Mail, iTunes, etc.). PyOSA makes Python a full peer to
-AppleScript.

-\section{Other Resources}
-
-The MacPython mailing list is an excellent support resource for Python users and
-developers on the Mac:
