Earlier I asked about how people installed Python on OS X, given that
one can choose from Xcode, Fink, Darwin, ActiveState and source builds: http://groups.google.com/group/comp....de06a6bb6b2361
but before I knew it, I had been sucked in by the ease and vastness of
the Fink repository.
Now my bliss run has come to a full halt due to these instructions at
`wxPython.org <http://www.wxpython.or g/download.php>`_
Note to Fink users: Versions of Python installed by Fink cannot run
wxPython (unless you install and run X11...). You need to use Apple's
Framework builds, or a third-party Framework build.
And reading a bit further:
Python 2.4 Framework builds are available for download from the
undefined.org MacPython site. ActiveState also distributes a Framework
build.
So I guess I will look into a Framework build as my starting point. 8  1403 
One other thing: the mac os x built at python.org
( http://www.python.org/download/)
does not state whether it is a Framework build or not. I'm guessing it
isn't. me**********@gm ail.com wrote:

I'd really recommend using the universal build from python.org. As a
previous poster mentioned, it is a framework build. I've never had any
trouble using wxPython in conjunction with it, either.

The universal build from Python.org is outdated (IIRC). A better, more
optimized one is available from http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-f...2006-04-07.dmg

Outdated??? It's Python 2.4.3 (and they already have a build for
2.5rc1), so I'm not sure what you mean.

The Mac OS X Universal binary build process has been improved since the 2.4.3
source release.

There have been a couple of releases of Python 2.4.3 "universal" on OS
X.The first one was quietly posted for download from one of the
developers' .Mac account, and announced only on the MacPython list,
with an invitation for feedback. It probably should have been tagged
"release candidate," but it wasn't. Someone grabbed it and posted it at
python.org.
A week or so later, a significantly faster/optimized release of Python
2.4.3 was announced on the MacPython list and posted for download at
pythonmac.org. That's the release that the Mac community considers to be
the "official" universal release.
It looks like the earlier release is what is available at python.org; it
hasn't been updated. That release was made on March 30, while the faster
release was made on April 7 (or thereabouts).
Once 2.5 is out, it will probably be moot. The "universal" build of
Python 2.4.3 is currently a fork from the main Python code base; the Mac
developers are concentrating on merging the changes in for the 2.5
release. No further work is being done on 2.4.3 as far as I know.

Also, for what it's worth, I strongly recommend the packages hosted at
pythonmac.org; these are built and tested by the core MacPython developers.
