5. It is probably a good idea to add the Mac-specific modules to the framework,
with "make installmacsubtree". This puts a MacPython lib directory into
sys.prefix/Mac/Lib. Again, this is a temporary measure.
6. To actually find the Lib directory installed in step 5 you add a line
to your site.py file (the one in /Library/Frameworks/....):
sys.path.append(os.path.join(sys.prefix, 'Mac/Lib'))
You are now done. In your Applications you should have a "Python", with the icon
being a falling 16 Ton weight with a shadow under it. You can drop Python scripts
on this and the will be run, in a full-windowing environment. Note that you
do not get sys.stdin, and that sys.stdout goes to the console (Use
Applications/Utilities/Console to see it).
For some reason the application only accepts files with TEXT type, not straight unix
typeless files.
Something to take note of is that the ".rsrc" files in the distribution are not
actually resource files, they're AppleSingle encoded resource files.
