following bug #1196 and discussion on irc, there is 2 separates
problems for python on Os X as Blender is linked statically against
python but not shipped with non-core libs (this includes os, and math,
which are very useful and used) :
1/ setting the PYTHONPATH env var on Os X to get from Os site dir for
non-core python libs
2/ 10.2 and 10.3 are not shipped with the same version of python and
the additionnals libs must match version
Besides, It was said at meeting that blender will be compiled against
python 2.3.
for point 1/, I've found a solution :
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html
not tested it yet, but Apple Q&A are usually acurate
for point 2/
on 10.3 no problem, python versions matches and blender should search
them in system without help or with point 1/ if needed
on 10.2, pythons versions do not matches, so we need to install the
site libs somewhere.
2 solutions ask users to install with fink and use point 1/, or furnish
as additional download only the libs.
asking to use fink may be a problem (altough it was the reccomended
solution with 2.32) as some may not appreciate to use an unix tool and
you need the dev CD installed.
