BUILDING PYTHON 1.2 FOR THE MACINTOSH
*************************************
Python can be built on the Mac using either THINK C 6.0 (or 7.0), MPW
3.2, or CodeWarrior 5.0. In the past it has also been compiled with
earlier versions of Think and MPW, but no guarantees are made that the
source is still compatible with those versions. Think C 5.0 appears
to be OK. Likewise, new compiler versions may effectively change the

language accepted (or the library provided!) and thus cause problems.
MPW is a special case -- it used to be possible to build Python as
an MPW tool using MPW 3.2, and this may still work, but I haven't
tried this lately. What I have tried, however, is building Python
as a shared library for CFM-68K, using the Symantec C compiler for MPW.
See subdirectory MPW and the README file there for more info.

The subdirectory MPW contains a README.MPW file, a buildall script and
several Makefiles, kindly contributed by Richard Walker of Island
Software. Move these files to the corresponding locations relative to
the Python root directory (where Mac-Makefile should become Makefile
in the Mac subdirectory, etc.), and run the buildall script. The
README.MPW file contains more instructions and caveats (I've added
some remarks of my own at the end).
Some notes:
- The MPW and THINK C ports share all source files, including config.c
and config.h -- all differentiation is done based on #ifdef THINK_C
or #ifdef MPW (#ifdef macintosh is used for code that should be seen
by all Mac compilers).
- The dynload subdirectory contains an attempt to create dynamically
loadable modules from CODE segments. This was not very successful
due to the restrictions on CODE segments (no global variables, no
calls to external functions). Maybe Apple's new shared library
manager will be a better starting point.
- I haven't tried building STDWIN with MPW recently. There is MPW
specific code all over the STDWIN source but it is for a much older
version of the compiler and library.
