The attached file updates section 1 of the Macintosh library documentation, which covers getting started--installing, configuring, and learning Python on the Mac. The file updates the section to reflect changes in the Mac version of Python since 2.4 (switching to IDLE as the standard IDE, supporting universal binaries, etc.) and adds sections on application deployment with py2app, GUI toolkits, application scripting, and more. Much of the current documentation in this section is obsolete and therefore inaccurate. 

The updated documentation is a simple text file: I am not an expert with LaTeX. I understand the Python documentation team can handle the LaTeX formatting.
