Changes in 2.2.1 since 2.2
----------------------------
These release notes refer to Mac-specific changes only. See NEWS (in the Misc folder)
for machine-independent changes.
- This release should work on multiprocessor OSX machines.
- The problem with incomplete read()s on sockets has been fixed.
- NavServices is now weaklinked, so this release should work on a virgin Mac OS 8.1.
- Much more: to be supplied.
Known problems
--------------
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.
- The IDE and Tkinter do not work together. Run tkinter programs under PythonInterpreter.
- Tkinter file events do not work, unless you have opened the file through Tcl (but then
you cannot access it from Python).
- The IDE object and class browser look funny on OSX, but they work fine.
- Aliases may not work in sys.path entries.
- PythonInterpreter used interactively will eat a lot of processor cycles. You should use
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).
