New description:
Build Python as a framework build on OS X.
spkg up at
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/patches/prabhu/
This needs thorough testing. In particular, try building sage from
scratch with this spkg. Also, worry about upgrading from one sage version
to another.
Anyway, ASAP I think this should be made the standard version of python
for OS X, so that we can get matplotlib + full native gui support by
default. Plus, we should provide an optional spkg that makes it trivial
to make nice native GUI apps on OS X (??).

Comment:
This was the original mess of a ticket description:
I'm trying to build sage on mac with a shareable python library. The
current version, being built without the --enable-framework option, cannot
be linked to other libraries because of the environ variable. I think
getting this working would be useful, and I would like eventually to see
it the default build on OS X.
The following recipe works, though it is clearly a defective approach:
1. build vanilla sage from source
2. edit the spkg/standard/python-2.5....spkg/spkg-install file to include
the --enable-framework=SAGE_ROOT/local/Frameworks
3. rebuild sage. This creates SAGE_ROOT/Frameworks/Python.framework
4. all doctests pass, and I can link to libpython from boost python
Ideally, the following steps would work:
1. edit the spkg/standard/python-2.5....spkg/spkg-install file to include
the --enable-framework= SAGE_ROOT/local/Frameworks
2. build sage.
It doesn't work so simply. I've managed to help it along a few steps, but
am stuck with cvxopt
1. The build of mercurial crashes. When it crashes, create two symlinks:
1a. local/lib/python2.5
---> local/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.5/
1b. local/include/python2.5
---> local/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/include/python2.5/
1c. Restart make
2. The build of the sage package crashes, with a similar error.
2a. Delete the busted symlink at
local/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/sage
2b. Create a symlink:
local/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/sage
--->devel/sage/build/sage
2c. Delete half-built files, restart make.
3. The build of cvxopt crashes, with a duplicate symbol error. I'm not in
a position to debug this one.
Any attention appreciated! For my part, I can muddle along with the
duplicate builds but I would like to get this working.
