Both the Darwin/X11 version of GTK from MacPorts or Fink, and the MacOSX/Quartz version of GTK from gtk-osx/jhbuild, were working "just fine"*. The main reason for doing this new installer was to avoid the need to _compile_ anything... * see http://0install.net/install-mac.html for details Since Zero Install uses a lot of small PyGTK programs, it wasn't efficient to wrap them into stand-alone bundles each with a bundled version of gtk+ and pygtk inside it. Including the development packages was also a bit bloated. And getting rid of "that "X in the window bar" is nice too. > One question I still have: will this install PyGTK in the Python > provided by Apple, or in Python.org's Python?

This installer explicitly uses #!/usr/bin/python for Python, and /opt/gtk for GTK+ (with /opt/gtk/lib/python* for PyGTK) It is _supposed_ to set up a ".pth" file, so that the system python is able to find the site-packages from within /opt/gtk: $ cat /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/gtkredirect.pth import site; site.addsitedir('/opt/gtk/lib/python2.5/site-packages') $ cat /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/gtkredirect.pth import site; site.addsitedir('/opt/gtk/lib/python2.6/site-packages') There was an earlier version that used /usr/local/bin/python for Mac OS X 10.4, since it had python2.3 which was too old. It could be revived too, if there was enough interest. But it cannot use the same binaries as the 10.5/10.6 version posted. --anders _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
