webmas...@python.org just got some mail from some poor embarrased soul who ran this program and broke their Python install.
They are running Mac OSX 10.7.5 They are getting: Utility has encountered a fatal error, and will now terminate. A Python runtime could not be located. You may need to install a framework build of Python or edit the PyRuntimeLocations array in this applications info.plist file. Then there are two oblong circles. One says Open Console. The other says Terminate. So https://docs.python.org/2/using/mac.html says: The Apple-provided build of Python is installed in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /usr/bin/python, respectively. You should never modify or delete these, as they are Apple-controlled and are used by Apple- or third-party software. So, I assume this poor soul has done precisely that. What do I tell her to do now? Laura -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
