PowerPC Macintosh instructions

PowerPC
and CFM68K
Macintosh instructions
------------------------------
-----------
1. Remove older versions of "PythonCorePPC", "PythonCore" and "Python Preferences"
from your system folder.
2. Run the MkPluginAliases applet. This will first ask you whether it should
create an initial preferences file. Let it do so. Next, it will create a
number of aliases in the PlugIns folder. If this fails in mysterious ways
examine the script (in Mac:scripts:MkPluginAliases.py) and create the aliases
by hand (and tell me what you did to make the script fail:-).
3. To make sure any applets you create can find the common interpreter code
you should move PythonCorePPC to the Extensions folder (drop it on the
System Folder and it will find its own way). Alternatively, you can
make an alias called "PythonCorePPC" in the Extensions folder and
point it to the real PythonCorePPC. You may want to start PythonPPC
again at this point to check that you actually put the extension in
the right place.
4. You're all set now. Continue with the common instructions.
CFM68K Macintosh instructions
-----------------------------
For this you need a Mac with a 68020, 68030 or 68040, and at least System 7.1.1.
CFM68K Python will not run on PowerPC Macs.
1. Install the stuff from the "CFM68K for System Folder" into the Extensions
folder and restart.
For CFM68K you need a Mac with a 68020, 68030 or 68040, and at least System 7.1.1.
CFM68K Python will not run on PowerPC Macs. Before installing Python you
should install CFM68K. Put everything from the "CFM68K for System Folder" into the
Extensions folder and restart.
Run the MkPluginAliases applet. This will create an initial preferences file.
Next, it will create a number of aliases in the PlugIns folder. Finally
it will put an alias to your PythonCore in the Extensions folder. The whole
process should be independent of any previous releases of Python on your disk
(and these releases should still continue working).
2. Continue with the PowerPC instructions, but read "CFM68K" every time you see
"PPC".
For all these things to work correctly it is vital that you don't move anything
around before running MkPluginAliases. After you have set things up you may
move things around to your hearts' desire.
Classic 68K Macintosh instructions
----------------------------------
1. Remove the old "Python Preferences" file from the Preferences folder, if there is one.
2. Run Python68K. This will create an initial preferences file (after
asking you if that's ok with you). Quit python.
3. Continue with the next section.
Run Python68K. This will create an initial preferences file. Quit python.

Upgrading from older Python releases
------------------------------------
Since release 1.4 Python releases are independent of each other, with separate
Preferences files, shared library names, etc. The good news is that this means you
can keep your older version around if you are unsure whether to upgrade. The bad
news is that your old preference settings are lost and you have to set them again.
After you are satisfied that 1.4 works as expected you can trash anything in the
system folder that has "python" in the name and not "1.4".
