Only 8 packages show up in python install manager for macpython 2.4. Is this because nobody has time to maintain the database or has support gone away from the package manager because nobody liked it?
Why isn't package manager being used for all the packages on http:// pythonmac.org/packages/ and http://undefined.org/python/#python? In general if I build a package from source and use framework python 2.4.1, then setup.py will do the right thing? Or are there extra tricks that I have to worry about. I was attracted to Bob's set of apple installer packages but have gotten bitten a couple of times because not the latest version etc. I am trying to figure out what my python installation and maintenance strategy should be. I have used Python mainly for cgi scripts and network utilities and only needed the standard library. But now I have a project where I plan to use it for a scientific research project that needs the graphics plotting etc. This requires more than the stock python. I also plan to write a gui app interface using the mac toolbox so I concluded that i should be using the framework build. But it seems that there is a lot of extra work to get all the scientific tools running under framework build. Anybody have any suggestions why or why not persist with framework. Apparently some people have built all these tools on framework build, I just can't find any updated documentation on the process. Anybody want to share their configuration and why? _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
