This was using 4 bytes for each such piece of info regardless of platform. This didn't really matter before (proof: no bug reports, and the debug-build obmalloc would have assert-failed if it was ever asked for a chunk of memory >= 2**32 bytes), since container indices were plain ints. But after the Py_ssize_t changes, it's at least theoretically possible to allocate a list or string whose guts exceed 2**32 bytes, and the PYMALLOC_DEBUG routines would fail then (having only 4 bytes to record the originally requested size). Now we use sizeof(size_t) bytes for each of a PYMALLOC_DEBUG build's extra debugging fields. This won't make any difference on 32-bit boxes, but will add 16 bytes to each allocation in a debug build on a 64-bit box. ........ r46638 | tim.peters | 2006-06-04 05:38:04 +0200 (Sun, 04 Jun 2006) | 4 lines _PyObject_DebugMalloc(): The return value should add 2*sizeof(size_t) now, not 8.

This set of documents provides an introduction to various aspects of
|
|
Python programming on the Mac. It is assumed that the reader is
|
|
already familiar with Python and, to some extent, with MacOS Toolbox
|
|
programming. Other readers may find something interesting here too,
|
|
your mileage may vary. <p>
|
|
|
|
There is a companion document <a href="using.html">Using Python on the Mac</a>
|
|
which you should read before starting here: it explains the basics of using
|
|
python on the Macintosh. <p>
|
|
|
|
Another set of Macintosh-savvy examples, more aimed at beginners, is
|
|
maintained by Joseph Strout, at Python Tidbits in <A
|
|
HREF="http://www.strout.net/python/">
|
|
http://www.strout.net/python/</A>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/lib/Top.html">Python Library
|
|
Reference</a> contains a section on <a
|
|
href="http://www.python.org/doc/lib/Macintosh-Specific-Services.html">Macintosh-specific
|
|
modules</a> that you should also read. Documentation is also available
|
|
in PostScript and other forms, see the <a
|
|
href="http://www.python.org/doc/">documentation</a> section on the
|
|
webserver. <p>
|
|
|
|
The W widget set by Just van Rossum, which is used by the Python IDE, does not
|
|
have complete documentation as of this writing, but Corran Webster has
|
|
documented most of it on his
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.nevada.edu/~cwebster/Python/">Python Page</A>. <p>
|
|
|
|
There are also some documentation links, as well as other MacPython-related

pages, in the

on PowerPC Macs. It assumes you use CodeWarrior for you development.

|
|
<I>PICTbrowse</I> is an application that locates PICT
|
|
resources and displays them, it demonstrates some quickdraw and the
|
|
resource and list managers. In the same folder you will find the very
|
|
similar scripts ICONbrowse and cicnbrowse. oldPICTbrowse is the same program
|
|
but form the pre-Appearance era, it uses a dialog with a user item and
|
|
creates and manages its own List object.
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<I>Imgbrowse</I> displays image files in
|
|
many different formats (gif, tiff, pbm, etc). It shows how to use the
|
|
img modules on the mac.
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<I>Quicktime</I> has the standard <code>MovieInWindow</code> and
|
|
<code>VerySimplePlayer</code> examples, re-coded in Python.
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<I>Resources</I>, <I>Sound</I> and <I>Speech</I> have some examples
|
|
on using the respective managers. In the <i>Mac:Lib</i> folder you
|
|
will also find modules that do useful things with the Communications
|
|
Toolbox, the Finder interface, etc.
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<I>Printing</I> has an example on using the Printing module to, you guessed
|
|
it, print from Python. The code is somewhat self-documenting. Donated
|
|
by Just van Rossum, who also donated the Printing module itself.

At some point in the (possibly distant) future, I will add chapters on
|
|
how to use bgen to create modules completely automatic and how to make
|
|
your Python program scriptable, but that will have to wait. <p>

Please let me know if you miss critical information in this
|
|
document. I am quite sure that I will never find the time to turn it
|
|
into a complete MacPython programmers guide (which would probably be a
|
|
400-page book instead of 10 lousy html-files), but it should contain
|
|
at least the information that is neither in the standard Python
|
|
documentation nor in Inside Mac or other Mac programmers
|
|
documentation. <p>
