[Pythonmac-SIG] ANN: MacEnthon 0.1

Robert Kern Sun, 10 Apr 2005 21:25:17 -0700

MacEnthon is the OS X counterpart to the popular "Enthought Edition" of Python: a convenient bundling of a number of packages geared for the scientific community. Right now, it targets the Apple-installed Python 2.3.0. Once I am satisfied with this release, I will consider cutting a release for Python 2.4.1. This is still just a test release. Please do not tell newbies to go install it, yet.

New in this release:

- some updates to packages from CVS/SVN - all documentation is now under /Developer/Python - enthonutil.py, a module that allows you to easily make your own "sumo" distribution; see /Developer/Python/MacEnthon/enthonutil-example.py

For a full list of packages, please see the ReadMe:

  http://download.enthought.com/MacEnthon/ReadMe.html

To download:

  http://download.enthought.com/MacEnthon/MacEnthon-0.1.dmg

Included is a CLI uninstaller, enthonbegone.py . It may leave a few empty directories some .pyc's hanging about, but otherwise it works fairly well. See its help for more information.

When you encounter problems, packaging/build bugs, or missing documentation, please log it on the Enthon issue tracker and assign the issue to "rkern":

I haven't gotten much feedback, so I can only assume that it's perfect. Barring anything particularly idiotic that I've done, I will probably only make one more "final" MacEnthon for Python 2.3.0. When I recover from that, I'll start thinking about 2.4.1.
