This directory contains a Makefile that will create a couple of python-related
applications (fullblown OSX .app applications, that is) in /Applications/Python,
! and a hidden helper application Python.app inside the Python.framework. In addition
it has a target "installmacsubtree" that installs the relevant portions of the
Mac subtree into the Python.framework.

! This sequence will put the framework in /Library/Framework/Python.framework and

! $HOME/Library/Frameworks if you have no admin privileges on your machine, has only

! Building in another place, for instance $HOME/Library/Frameworks if you have no
! admin privileges on your machine, has only been tested very lightly. This can be done
! by configuring with --enable-framework=$HOME/Library/Frameworks. The other two
! directories, /Applications/Python and /usr/local/bin, will then also be deposited
! in $HOME. This is sub-optimal for the unix tools, which you would want in $HOME/bin,
! but there is no easy way to fix this right now.
!
! Note that there are no references to the actual locations in the code or resource
! files, so you are free to move things around afterwards. For example, you could
! use --enable-framework=/tmp/newversion/Library/Frameworks and use /tmp/newversion
! as the basis for an installer or something.
!
! If you want to install some part, but not all, read the main Makefile. The
! frameworkinstall is composed of a couple of sub-targets that install the framework
! itself, the Mac subtree, the applications and the unix tools.
!
! If you want to run the Makefile here directly, in stead of through the main Makefile,
! you will have to pass various variable-assignments. Read the beginning of the Makefile
! for details.

! If you install the commandline scripts /usr/local/bin/python and pythonw these
can be used to run non-GUI and GUI python scripts from the command line, respectively.

-----------------

- The interesting targets in the makefile are:
- installmacsubtree - explained above,
- dontinstallmacsubtree - Put only a .pth file into the framework (pointing to this
- sourcetree), which may be easier for development,
- install_all - install all three .app applications,
- install_Python - install the hidden interpreter .app into the framework,
- install_PythonLauncher - install the user-visible script launch helper
- install_IDE - install the IDE
- installunixprograms - install symlinks/scripts mimicking normal unix Python into
- /usr/local.
-
The PythonLauncher is actually an Objective C Cocoa app built with Project Builder.
It could be a Python program, except for the fact that pyobjc is not a part of
