pythonmac.org - Mac OS X Python Resources


wiki
The pythonmac.org wiki contains information about using MacPython, MacPython specific modules, porting Python extensions to the Mac, software using Python, etc. Feel free to add content yourself, it is a wiki!

This is where you find information about Python on the Apple Macintosh (MacOSX, MacOS X, Mac OSX, Mac OS X), especially Python development with Apple specific technologies such as Cocoa, Carbon, QuickTime, etc. Yes, that is search engine bait, sorry.



community


MacPython Website
Jack Jansen's official MacPython website, here's where you'll find the official documentation, FAQ, mailing list, downloads, etc. Go here first if you're just starting with MacPython, and make sure to sign up for the pythonmac-sig mailing list to get in touch with other MacPython developers or to get help with MacPython.

undefined.org/python
Bob Ippolito's Python projects, many of which are specific to MacPython (aeve, TECManager, LaunchServices, etc.) as well as the "official unofficial" Package Manager repository and ports of popular Python modules to OS X.

sarwat.net/opensource
Sarwat Khan's open source software, some of which are MacPython related (plistservices, userdefaults, CFPython, BitTorrent Macintosh, etc.), but also includes a port of Apple's CoreFoundation-Lite to FreeBSD and some ObjC/Cocoa code.

python.net/~gherman
Dinu Gherman's OS X projects, lots of good Cocoa/PyObjC code and tools (Pycotine, RegexPlor, ReSTedit, etc.) as well as a few projects related to ReportLab. See the Projects, MacOSXStuff, and ReportLabStuff sections.

homepage.mac.com/gandreas
Glenn Andreas' iDisk, has the PyOXIDE Cocoa Python IDE.

flangy.com/dev
Adam Vandenberg's software development page, information on running Python CGI with Apache on OS X as well as other interesting programming resources and source code for Python, ObjC, C#, ASP, GBA homebrew, JavaScript, etc.

shearersoftware.com/software
Andrew Shearer's open source software, includes a pure python plist reader (PListReader) and xml.sax-compatible parser (XMLFilter, useful for the Python 2.2 that comes standard with OS X 10.2.x).

diveintopython.org
Mark Pilgrim's free in-progress Dive Into Python book for experienced programmers, web and web-services-related libraries in Python, and other resources for learning Python and OS X.

LettError wiki
LettError consists of Erik Van Blokland and Just Van Rossum. On the LettError wiki you'll find Python information about their typography toolkits (RoboFab and FontTools), as well as a very interesting Cocoa application called DrawBot, which is essentially a stripped down IDE for rendering programmatic vector images to PDF.
