Web2py is trivial to install but sometimes Python is not, especially on older MacBook Pro's that are not worth upgrading to the latest version of OS X.
Anyway this morning I remembered using the Plone Unified installer some time ago and to make a long story short, it is still able to install a sandboxed Python from scratch on most (all?) nix systems. So, in the tradition of Web2py, I stole it... License is GPL2 My roughly hewn version could use a lot more love and fat trimming before it would meet Web2py's aesthetics code but if you happen to need a quick and dirty installer for developing (Web2py) with Python it works. You will need to fill the packages directory. This can be done by downloading the latest Unified Plone Installer (a whopper of a download FYI) and manually copying them over or you can manually download the packages in the list (packages.txt). Let me know what fat you would like to see trimmed and or added and I will do it. enhancement suggestions welcomed. https://code.google.com/p/uc-unified-python-installer/ hg clone https://[email protected]/p/uc-unified-python-installer/uc-unified-python-installer C. -- Christopher Steel Voice of Access -- Christopher Steel Voice of Access
