Ned, Thanks -- I'll take further discussion to the python-mac list. Ronald: That’s a feature of the framework build. The unix build is exactly the same
as a unix build on other platform. Adding the same feature to the unix build should be possible, but would complicate the build. I have no interest to work on this, but would be willing to review PRs,
fair enough.
as long as those aim for feature parity with the framework build. That is, both pythonw(1) and python(1) should redirect through an embedded app bundle.
yes, that's what I'm thinking. Done, just configure “—enable-universalsdk
—with-universal-archs=universal2” without specifying a framework build.
Excellent, thanks! Something I would like to work on, but don’t have enough free time for, is
an alternative installation with an application bundle on the top level instead of a framework. Installation would then entail dropping “Python X.Y.app” into your application folder, and uninstallation would be to drop the same bundle into the bin.
That would be nice -- and would, I think, actually buy us something useful from this bundling :-) Just don’t use conda ;-). To be blunt, doing this properly is trivial.
which "this" are you referring to -- and if it's trivial, then why hasn't anyone figured out how in multiple conversations over years? But if it is -- tell us how and maybe we will do it (if it's really trivial, maybe even I, with my limited build skills could do it) Thanks, -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
