+This package will install MacPython $FULL_VERSION for Mac OS X
+$MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET for the following
+architecture(s): $ARCHITECTURES.
+
+Separate installers are available for older versions
+of Mac OS X, see the homepage, below.
+
+Installation requires approximately $INSTALL_SIZE MB of disk
+space, ignore the message that it will take zero bytes.
+
+You must install onto your current boot disk, even
+though the installer does not enforce this, otherwise
+things will not work.
+
+MacPython consists of the Python programming language
+interpreter, plus a set of programs to allow easy
+access to it for Mac users (an integrated development
+environment, an applet builder), plus a set of pre-built
+extension modules that open up specific Macintosh technologies
+to Python programs (Carbon, AppleScript, Quicktime, more).
+
+The installer puts the applications in "MacPython $VERSION"
+in your Applications folder, command-line tools in
+/usr/local/bin and the underlying machinery in
+$PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR.
+
+More information on MacPython can be found at
+http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython and
+http://pythonmac.org/. More information on
+Python in general can be found at
