Sure, I realised that we are dealing here with a fresh installation, but wasn't aware that this will include the pythonw framework. I guess your explicit statement is enough for people like me to understand ;-). I'll try it out this afternoon.On Dec 8, 2004, at 1:53 PM, Christian Meesters wrote:

How to upgrade Apples python installation in Mac OS X 10.3 from python 2.3 to 2.4...
Thanks, interesting. But does anybody know how this will effect pythonw (e.g. for use with wxPython)?
Admittingly I'm a bit hesitant to try out.
The title is incorrect, it doesn't upgrade anything. It installs a new Python that is entirely separate from the existing installation.
/usr/local/bin/python is Python 2.4.0 /usr/bin/python is Python 2.3.0
/usr/local/bin/pythonw is Python 2.4.0 /usr/bin/pythonw is Python 2.3.0
pythonw is a shell script that has always shipped with framework builds of Python 2.3.0 and later, just like a pythonw.exe has shipped with the Windows version of Python for quite some time. There's nothing special about it. The fact that it happens to use a "fake" application bundle that lives in the deep dark depths of Python.framework is really just an implementation detail.
