    15 MacPython consists of the Python programming language

    16 interpreter, plus a set of programs to allow easy

    17 access to it for Mac users (an integrated development

    18 environment, an applet builder), plus a set of pre-built 

    19 extension modules that open up specific Macintosh technologies 

    20 to Python programs (Carbon, AppleScript, Quicktime, more).

    21 

    22 The installer puts the applications in "Python $VERSION" 

    23 in your Applications folder, command-line tools in

    24 /usr/local/bin and the underlying machinery in

    25 $PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR.
