When distributing Mac binaries of numpy, we've run into some confusion from
users on the Python dependency. bdist_mpkg reports the MacPython (
python.org) dependency as the "System Python". This terminology is
confusing as users see the "Apple Python" in the /System folder and believe
they meet the required version. Could this be changed to something more
descriptive?
Updating the entry in the FRIENDLY_PREFIX is all that is needed.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 12:31:38 $ grin -A 8 "FRIENDLY_PREFIX"
./plists.py:
70 : FRIENDLY_PREFIX = {
71 + os.path.expanduser(u'~/Library/Frameworks') : u'User',
72 + u'/System/Library/Frameworks' : u'Apple',
73 + u'/Library/Frameworks' : u'python.org Framework Build',
74 + u'/opt/local' : u'DarwinPorts',
75 + u'/usr/local' : u'Unix',
76 + u'/sw' : u'Fink',
77 + }
On the numpy-list, Christopher Barker had proposed changing it to this:
u'/Library/Frameworks' : u'python.org Framework Build',
Thanks!
Chris
