New submission from Doug Ransom: A number of .py files are not installed in the mac installer. While python programs run OK, this thwarts users from using IDEs like Aptana Studio/PyDev. For those of us who are python dabblers, this makes it nearly impossible to write/debug python code.
urllib.py is an example. Here is the note from PyDev which works with Aptana Studio http://pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html (though installing python as they discuss doesn't fix the problem, and the /lib folder thing is probably beyond most of us to figure out): "IMPORTANT for Mac users: The Python version that usually ships with Mac doesn't seem to have the .py source files available, which are required for PyDev, so, using a different interpreter is recommended (i.e.: Download it from http://python.org). If you don't want to use a different interpreter, get the source files for the Python '/Lib' folder and add those to the system installation. After those steps, you should have a screen as presented below:..." How about changing the install so IDEs like pydev, for all versions? A few extra bytes of disk space probably won't harm anything. ---------- assignee: ronaldoussoren components: Macintosh messages: 172743 nosy: Doug.Ransom, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: MacInstalls break PyDev versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16211> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
