The process is far from streamlined, +and it will definitely change in future releases of Python, but I wanted to +include this in the current distribution so people could play with it. + +To create a fullblown Python.app proceed as follows. + +1. In the main Python source directory configure python with + configure --enable-framework --with-suffix +2. Do a "make clean" if you did a previous build, then "make". +3. Install this as a framework with "make frameworkinstall". This puts a Python + framework into /Library/Frameworks. +4. Come back here (Mac/OSX) and build and install the application, + with "make install". +5. It is probably a good idea to add the Mac-specific modules to the framework, + with "make installmacsubtree". This puts a MacPython lib directory into + sys.prefix/Mac/Lib. Again, this is a temporary measure. + +You are now done. In your Applications you should have a "Python", with the icon +being a falling 16 Ton weight with a shadow under it. You can drop Python scripts +on this and the will be run, in a full-windowing environment. Note that you +do not get sys.stdin, and that sys.stdout goes to the console (Use +Applications/Utilities/Console to see it). + +Something to take note of is that the ".rsrc" files in the distribution are not +actually resource files, they're AppleSingle encoded resource files. + + Jack Jansen, jack@oratrix.com, 6-Sep-01.
