This program will install MacPython 2.3b1 for Mac OS X. 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, a Python extension package manager), 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-2.3 in your Applications folder, command-line tools in /usr/local/bin and the underlying machinery in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework. The PythonIDE application has a Help command that gets you started quickly with MacPython and contains references to other documentation. More information on MacPython can be found at http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html, more information on Python in general at http://www.python.org.
