These release notes refer to Mac-specific changes only. See NEWS (in the Misc folder)
for machine-independent changes.

- The installer is now based on VISE 8.0, and should work fine on MacOSX.
- A problem with Python randomly refusing to run on OSX, presenting only
a window with <<terminated>> in the title, has been solved.
- A Jaguar problem with AppleEvent errors being ignored has been fixed.

Known problems
--------------
2001-04-25 22:11:24 +00:00
This list is probably incomplete, more problems may be listed on the MacPython homepage,

http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html.
- Tkinter does not work under Carbon.
2000-09-11 22:47:12 +00:00
- The IDE and Tkinter do not work together. Run tkinter programs under PythonInterpreter.
2001-03-08 23:07:16 +00:00
- Tkinter file events do not work, unless you have opened the file through Tcl (but then
you cannot access it from Python).
2001-04-25 22:11:24 +00:00
- Aliases may not work in sys.path entries.
2001-03-08 23:07:16 +00:00
- PythonInterpreter used interactively will eat a lot of processor cycles. You should use
2001-04-25 22:11:24 +00:00
PythonIDE for interactive work and PythonInterpreter for scripts only. This is especially
true under OSX.
- AliasMenu 2.2 conflicts with the Carbon version of Python. This is most likely a problem
with AliasMenu (which is from 1999, and thus predates Carbon altogether).
