[Python-Dev] Python 3 - Mac Installer? (original) (raw)

As far as I can tell the Carbon and MacOS modules are only used in the setIcon() function, which is used to give pretty icon to the python folder. Perhaps it might be better to have a fully Python 3 build system and loose the prettiness for the time being. +1

-1. I think it is a good choice that build-install.py is written in Python 2.x, and only relies on the system Python. For that matter, it could have been a shell script. That way, you don't have to build Python first in order to build it.

Regards, Martin
