Python Manual

Setting up Python on Mac

• Go to http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/ to download addons for Mac Python 2.3.
• Run the Package Manager. The default database won't work so use this link: http://www.python.org/packman/version-0.3/darwin-7.7.0-Power_Macintosh.plist
• Install TclTkAqua (click on the display hidden packages checkbox) and _tkinter packages to use IDLE.
• Install readline package to get command line history in Python window.
