Ned Deily 78cceec1c0 Document changes to OS X installer configurations for 2.7.7.
As of 2.7.8, the 32-bit-only installer will support OS X 10.5
and later systems as is currently done for Python 3.x installers.

For 2.7.7 only, we will provide three installers:
the legacy deprecated 10.3+ 32-bit-only format;
the newer 10.5+ 32-bit-only format;
and the unchanged 10.6+ 64-/32-bit format.

Although binary installers will no longer be available from
python.org as of 2.7.8, it will still be possible to build from
source on 10.3.9 and 10.4 systems if necessary.

\f0\fs24 \cf0 This package will install
\b Python $FULL_VERSION
\b0 for
\b Mac OS X $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
\b0 .\
\
\b Python for Mac OS X
\b0 consists of the Python programming language interpreter, plus a set of programs to allow easy access to it for Mac OS X users including an integrated development environment
\b IDLE
\b0 and a set of pre-built extension modules that open up specific Macintosh technologies to Python programs.\
\
See the ReadMe file and the Python documentation for important information, including the dropping of support for OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4 in future Python 2.7.x binary installers.\

\b IMPORTANT:
\b0
\b IDLE
\b0 and other programs using the
\b tkinter
\b0 graphical user interface toolkit require specific versions of the
\b Tcl/Tk
\b0 platform independent windowing toolkit. Visit {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/"}}{\fldrslt http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/}} for current information on supported and recommended versions of Tcl/Tk for this version of Python and Mac OS X.}
