setting up wxPython on a Mac

[Brian Blais]

Hello,

I have a wxPython program that I would like to give to a friend of mine who has a
Mac. Is there a resource out there that can tell me what steps I need to follow to
do this? Under windows, I would just install Enthought, and it would work without
any modifications. I don't know Macs all that well, but is there something similar?

Thanks,
Brian Blais

Install Python from the Python website--a Python 2.5 installer is
available for the Mac.

Install wxPython from the wxPython website--an installer for the latest
version of wxPython for the Mac is also available.

That should do it.

sounds easy. If I need the numpy/scipy/matplotlib combo, is it that straightforward?
On windows it is, on Linux is definitely is not.

I'm not sure about numpy/scipy/matplotlib. I don't think there are
pre-built packages for them; you may have to build them from source. You
could also post to the MacPython mailing list, someone there has
probably looked at this already.

There are prebuilt extension for these for Python 2.4.x available from
<http://pythonmac.org/packages/>. Packages for 2.5 will show up
eventually, but meanwhile if you want prebuilt then use python 2.4.4.

For python itself, I recommend using the Mac installer available from
the standard python web site (rather than the package available from
<http://pythonmac.org/packages/>).
