You have to remove Modules:fmmodule.c, the SGI fm module, which has a

For 68K python you are now done.
For PPC Python, don't try complicated scripts yet, you first have to create
the dynamically loadable modules. Create a folder PlugIns (in the toplevel
python folder) and move all the projects that have "module" or "modules" in
their name there. Build these projects. This will create a number of ".exp"
files, edit these files to contain only all the "init" modules, and build
the projects again. This latter step isn't really essential, so feel free
to skip it.

The next step is to create aliases for the various modules that "live together"
in one shared library. For this, take MkPluginAliases.py and MkPluginAliases.rsrc
from the Mac:scripts folder and move or copy them to the python home folder.
Run the script from there.

If you haven't created all plugins you'll get some errors about files not existing,
don't worry. Don't forget to move the scripts back.

Next, make an alias of PythonCore (also named PythonCore) and put it in
System Folder:Extensions. This will ensure that you can run python anywhere,
not just from the folder where PythonCore lives.

Most of your environment is now setup. You can try it by running EditPythonPrefs.py
(in Mac:scripts), it should now work from there.

Lastly, you should setup some stuff needed for applet creation. First, you should put
PythonApplet (or an alias to it) in the python home folder. Next, you should turn
mkapplet.py (from mac:scripts) into an applet itself: double-click it and give it itself
as input in the input file dialog.

Now that you have created mkapplet you can use this as a droplet: drag-and-drop python sources
onto it (EditPythonPrefs.py and RunLibScript.py come to mind) and the applets will be
created.
