The whole "Using Python on a Macintosh" section is very out-of-date and needs a major update. ---------- assignee: docs@python -> ned.deily nosy: +ned.deily stage: -> needs patch versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.3 -Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue12594 _______________________________________

Scott Macpherson added the comment: I'd like to help out with this issue if I can. This page in the documentation is really showing it's age now. * I think referring to "OS X" (soon to be "MacOS") instead of "Mac" or "Macintosh" would more accurate. * The opening paragraph of section 4.1 only refers to OS X 10.8, which was released over 4 years ago. * Is there any value in listing text editors in section 4.1.1? Editors frequently come-and-go. * I suspect a large number of Python 3 developers running OS X use http://brew.sh/ - would it be worth mentioning this somewhere? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue12594 _______________________________________

cmhzc added the comment: According to the official tutorial on virtual environment, """ This will create the tutorial-env directory if it doesn’t exist, and also create directories inside it containing a copy of the Python interpreter, **the standard library**, and various supporting files. """ But according to PEP 405 and the actual behavior of venv, the standard library won't be copied. I'm not sure if I'm having a misunderstanding of this expression. ---------- nosy: +cmhzc versions: -Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue12594 _______________________________________
