Hi all,
I want to change to Mac OS X... I have been gone through the
mailing-list in order to find some advices on the best way to do that
but I could not get a clear picture of the actual state (sorry...)
and still have some questions.
I want to use Unix Python on the Mac, since I think it will be easier
for me to exchange code/modules with other people in the dept
currently programming in Python for Linux. Am I right or have
overseen something?. What do I lose by not installing the MacPython
for Mac OS X?
Fink seems the most comfortable way to install unix-python on Mac OS
X. Did you make some bad experiences with that?
Could you compare a bit with other binary distributions of
unix-python for Mac OS X?
How about installing the following packages with fink:
NumPy
SciPy
PIL
Gnuplot
Tkinter ?
I have been using Tkinter for GUI development and thinking on
changing to wxPython. The GUIs are not for complex user applications,
but for experiment-tools internally used. Basically what I am seeking
is to run the GUIs cross-plattform (I was a bit disappointed some
Tkinter.widgets were not working right in Linux/Windows). Some
opinions are very welcome...
Thanks for the time...
Best Regards,
Aureli
PD: Is there any central info point for unix-python on OS X as Jack's
page for MacPython?
