-This package will install Python $FULL_VERSION for Mac OS X
-$MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET for the following architecture(s):
-$ARCHITECTURES.
-
- **** IMPORTANT ****
-
-Installing on OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or later systems
-========================================================
-
-If you are attempting to install on an OS X 10.8+ system, you may
-see a message that Python can't be installed because it is from an
-unidentified developer. This is because this Python installer
-package is not yet compatible with the Gatekeeper security feature
-introduced in OS X 10.8. To allow Python to be installed, you
-can override the Gatekeeper policy for this install. In the Finder,
-instead of double-clicking, control-click or right click the "Python"
-installer package icon. Then select "Open using ... Installer" from
-the contextual menu that appears.

- **** IMPORTANT ****
+This package will install Python $FULL_VERSION for Mac OS X $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET for the following architecture(s): $ARCHITECTURES.
+=============================
Update your version of Tcl/Tk to use IDLE or other Tk applications
-==================================================================
-
-To use IDLE or other programs that use the Tkinter graphical user
-interface toolkit, you may need to install a newer third-party version
-of the Tcl/Tk frameworks. Visit http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/
-for current information about supported and recommended versions of
-Tcl/Tk for this version of Python and of Mac OS X.
-
- **NEW* As of Python 3.4.0b1:
-
-New Installation Options and Defaults
-=====================================
-
-The Python installer now includes an option to automatically install
-or upgrade pip, a tool for installing and managing Python packages.
-This option is enabled by default and no Internet access is required.
-If you do not want the installer to do this, select the "Customize"
-option at the "Installation Type" step and uncheck the "Install or
-ugprade pip" option.
-
-To make it easier to use scripts installed by third-party Python
-packages, with pip or by other means, the "Shell profile updater"
-option is now enabled by default, as has been the case with Python
-2.7.x installers. You can also turn this option off by selecting
-"Customize" and unchecking the "Shell profile updater" option. You
-can also update your shell profile later by launching the "Update
-Shell Profile" command found in the /Applications/Python $VERSION
-folder. You may need to start a new terminal window for the
-changes to take effect.
-
-Python.org Python $VERSION and 2.7.x versions can both be installed and
-will not conflict. Command names for Python 3 contain a 3 in them,
-python3 (or python$VERSION), idle3 (or idle$VERSION), pip3 (or pip$VERSION), etc.
-Python 2.7 command names contain a 2 or no digit: python2 (or
-python2.7 or python), idle2 (or idle2.7 or idle), etc. If you want to
-use pip with Python 2.7.x, you will need to download and install a
-separate copy of it from the Python Package Index
-(https://pypi.python.org/pypi).
-
-Using this version of Python on OS X
-====================================
-
-Python consists of the Python programming language interpreter, plus
-a set of programs to allow easy access to it for Mac users including
-an integrated development environment, IDLE, plus a set of pre-built
-extension modules that open up specific Macintosh technologies to
-Python programs.
-
-The installer puts applications, an "Update Shell Profile" command,
-and a link to the optionally installed Python Documentation into the
-"Python $VERSION" subfolder of the system Applications folder,
-and puts the underlying machinery into the folder
-$PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR. It can
-optionally place links to the command-line tools in /usr/local/bin as
-well. Double-click on the "Update Shell Profile" command to add the
-"bin" directory inside the framework to your shell's search path.
-
-You must install onto your current boot disk, even though the
-installer may not enforce this, otherwise things will not work.
+=============================
-You can verify the integrity of the disk image file containing the
-installer package and this ReadMe file by comparing its md5 checksum
-and size with the values published on the release page linked at
-http://www.python.org/download/
+To use IDLE or other programs that use the Tkinter graphical user interface toolkit, you need to install a newer third-party version of the Tcl/Tk frameworks. Visit https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for current information about supported and recommended versions of Tcl/Tk for this version of Python and of Mac OS X.
-Installation requires approximately $INSTALL_SIZE MB of disk space,
-ignore the message that it will take zero bytes.
