is preferable. The location depends on whether the user has a framework Python or a normal static Python installed. For GUI programs, a framework Python is preferable. For the Mac/README in the Python source distribution: 1. Why would I want a framework Python instead of a normal static Python? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main reason is because you want to create GUI programs in Python. With the exception of X11/XDarwin-based GUI toolkits all GUI programs need to be run from a fullblown MacOSX application (a ".app" bundle). (I'd like to add to this that X11/XDarwin-based GUI toolkits, such as PyGTK, also work fine with a framework Python). > Is there a way to inform bdist_mkpg of the desired install target? >From what I've seen, bdist_mpkg uses /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ if the Python creating the package is a framework Python. --Michiel --- On Sat, 8/1/09, John Hunter <jdh2...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: John Hunter <jdh2...@gmail.com> > Subject: [matplotlib-devel] mkpg on OSX > To: "matplotlib development list" <matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Date: Saturday, August 1, 2009, 1:43 PM > I tried testing the OSX binaries I > built Friday on my local OSX laptop > today, and had a problem with the mkpg installer > > http://drop.io/xortel1/asset/matplotlib-0-99-0-rc1-py2-5-macosx10-5-zip > > On the sage box I used to do the builds, the default python > path that > the installer picks up is > > /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages > > and this is where it put mpl when I ran the installer on my > local box. > But then when I try and import matplotlib on my local box > w/o > modifying the PYTHONPATH, I can't find it because my local > python is > looking in > > > /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ > > Is one of these two locations preferable for the > default?
