How to upgrade Apples python installation in Mac OS X 10.3 from python
2.3 to 2.4

Download http://www.merzwaren.com/bin/waste/waste-21b1.sit Save it in ~/Desktop Unpack waste-21b1.sit and copy all contents to a folder called waste.

cd ~/Desktop

You should now have one folder called Python-2.4 and one folder called
waste on the desktop.

Now you must patch your Apple python installation:

cd
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/ config/ emacs Makefile

Change in Makefile:

LDSHARED= (CC)(CC) (CC)(LDFLAGS) -bundle -framework $(PYTHONFRAMEWORK) BLDSHARED= (CC)(CC) (CC)(LDFLAGS) -bundle -framework $(PYTHONFRAMEWORK)

to

LDSHARED= env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 (CC)(CC) (CC)(LDFLAGS) -bundle
-undefined dynamic_lookup BLDSHARED= env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 (CC)(CC) (CC)(LDFLAGS) -bundle
-undefined dynamic_lookup

Start building:

cd ~/Desktop/Python-2.4 MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 ./configure --enable-framework make make frameworkinstall make frameworkinstallextras

Change you PATH:

emacs ~/.bashrc

Add:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH export PATH

This seems to work for me. Please let me know if something is missing.
