I want to port an application that runs on Linux and Windows perfectly to OSX.
We use Python 2.5, PyGame, PyGTK and SQLAlchemy for it.
Now I have a system with Leopard on it, but want to make sure what
would be the best solution to get these dependencies installed on it.
I remember reading on this mailinglist that there were some problems
with the python included in Leopard.
some, but it mostly works well -- the biggest issues to decide are:
D you want to build stand-alone executables that will run on pre-leopard
systems?
Do the big packages you need come as binaries -- if so, for which python?
That being said, I'd go with the python from python.org -- more ups to
date, and usually better support by third party packages.
Do I need to install another Python alongside the included python (or
should I replace it)?
Do not replace it -- the python.org python can be installed in addition
to it, outside of system directories.
As for pyGTK -- another option is a fink or macports python -- these
sometimes support the "unix-y" stuff better.
I know it's a mess!
