get things from various CVS repositories as needed.
-1. As of this writing the CVS version of Python (2.2b1+) is required.
- You can get it via anonymous CVS from the Python project at
- Sourceforge. Build Python.app and install it as described in the
- Mac/OSX/README file in the Python distribution.
+1. Python 2.2 is required. Get the source from www.python.org and
+ build Python.app and install it as described in the Mac/OSX/README
+ file.
2. You may want to make a symlink or two in /usr/local/bin so that
this version of Python can be found from the command line. For
example:
cd /usr/local/bin
- sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.2/bin/python2.2.exe python2.2
+ sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.2/bin/python2.2 python2.2
sudo ln -s python2.2 python
3. In a wxWindows CVS tree make a build directory.
ln -s ../wxPython .
8. Now just navigate in the Finder to the demo directory and double
- click demo.py, or simple.py, or whatever you want to run.
- (Unfortunately it can't be done from the commandline in a terminal
- window. You can open the Console app to see any tracebacks or
- other output.)
+ click demo.py, or simple.py, or whatever you want to run. Or from
+ a command line you can run it this way:
+
+ open -a Python demo.py
9. Figure out what's wrong, figure out how to fix it, and then send
the patches to me. <wink>
