Installation
-------------

You do not need to install drpython.
You do need to have python, and wxPython installed.
(www.python.org, www.wxpython.org).

Just run drpython.pyw (double click in windows,
python drpython.pyw on other systems).

Installation notes for Mac OSX
------------------------------

Thanks to Dominique for his contribution (user mydomdom on Sourceforge)

1) Re-install both python and wxpython with the latest versions. 

2) Download TinkerTool to enable access to hidden directories and files. Otherwise,  

3) Throw away the former ".drpython" preferences directory (located for me in /Users/MyUserName/Library/Preferences) 

4) Install and launch drpython. Close it 

5) Go to drPreferences.py and change the "Courier 10 Pitch" and "Sans" fonts with a view to having something like: 
    if self.platform_is_windows: 
      defaultfont0="Courier" 
      defaultfont1="MS Sans Serif" 
    else: 
      defaultfont0="Comic Sans MS"#"Courier 10 Pitch" 
      defaultfont1="Comic Sans MS"#"Sans" 

6) Go to preferences.dat in the "/Users/MyUserName/Library/Preferences/.drpython" directory. 
   There, search for "Sans" and "Sans Serif" and possibly ""Courier 10 Pitch" and replace them with a mac known font (ex: Comic Sans MS). Save. 

7) To launch drpython directly, without having to go through IDLE, right click on the drpython.pyw file, 
   choose open with Python Launcher (make sure to choose the right python launcher if you have several installs).

You can work...
