Python on a Macintosh running Mac OS X is in principle very similar to
Python on any other Unixplatform, but there are a number of additional
features such as the IDE and the Package Manager that are worth pointing out.
Python on Mac OS 9 or earlier can be quite different from Python on
Unix or Windows, but is beyond the scope of this manual, as that platform
is no longer supported, starting with Python 2.4. See
http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython for installers
for the latest 2.3 release for Mac OS 9 and related documentation.
