It builds a complete +framework-based Python out-of-tree, installs it in a funny place with +$DESTROOT, massages that installation to remove .pyc files and such, creates +an Installer package from the installation plus other files in ``resources`` +and ``scripts`` and placed that on a ``.dmg`` disk image. + +Here are the steps you ned to follow to build a MacPython installer: + +- Run ``./build-installer.py``. Optionally you can pass a number of arguments + to specify locations of various files. Please see the top of + ``build-installer.py`` for its usage. +- When done the script will tell you where the DMG image is. + +The script needs to be run on Mac OS X 10.4 with Xcode 2.2 or later and +the 10.4u SDK. + +When all is done, announcements can be posted to at least the following +places: +- pythonmac-sig@python.org +- python-dev@python.org +- python-announce@python.org +- archivist@info-mac.org +- adcnews@apple.com +- news@macnn.com +- http://www.macupdate.com +- http://guide.apple.com/usindex.lasso +- http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/submit +- http://www.versiontracker.com/ (userid Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com) +- http://www.macshareware.net (userid jackjansen) + +Also, check out Stephan Deibels http://pythonology.org/market contact list |
