New submission from Jeff Rodman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Change current introduction in 1.1 WAS: Mac OS X 10.4 comes with Python 2.3 pre-installed by Apple. However, you are encouraged to install the most recent version of Python from the Python website (http://www.python.org). A ``universal binary'' build of Python 2.5, which runs natively on the Mac's new Intel and legacy PPC CPU's, is available there.
IS: Mac OS X 10.5 comes with Python 2.5.1 pre-installed by Apple. If you wish, you are invited to install the most recent version (currently 2.5.2) of Python from the Python website (http://www.python.org). A current "universal binary'' build of Python, which runs natively on the Mac's new Intel and legacy PPC CPU's, is available there. And then, to line: The Apple-provided build of Python is installed in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /usr/bin/python, respectively. You should never modify or delete these, as they are Apple-controlled and are used by Apple- or third-party software. ADD: Remember that if you choose to install a newer Python version like this, you will have two different but functional Python installations on your computer, so it will be important that your paths and usages are consistent with what you want to do. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 70437 nosy: georg.brandl, jrodman severity: normal status: open title: Updates to "Macintosh Library Modules" Section 1.1 versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3472> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
