From where can I get "Python Launcher" for Mac OS X Lion?

1

I use a macbook (air) with OS X Lion on it. I have Python 2.7 installed already but I can't seem to find a "Python Launcher.app" anywhere on the system.

I tried installing with with pip but it couldn't find anything to fetch.

I tried searching on Google to find a downloader but my search yielded no results (for downloading).

Where can I get this app? I have a folder with 20+ subfolders of GUI examples which in turn contain anywhere from 3 to 5 subfolders. I don't want to go through each within the terminal, would much rather launch these .py scrips from the finder.

Thank you for your help.

Phil

Odd. I have a Python Launcher. Not sure how I got it though. – Josiah – 2012-12-17T16:38:16.637

Hello @AceLegend. Since I could not find a download link through search, I assume that what's odd is me not having it. ;-) Your's seems to be the normal case. – Phil – 2012-12-17T16:41:38.850

Yeah. Oh. I got my Python tools when I was setting up either the Firefox Development tools, Chrome, or Webkit? I believe I used brew, where did you download yours? Brew, Online, another tool (I forgot what that other command-line download tool was called. – Josiah – 2012-12-17T18:46:03.933

Hi @AceLegend! I had not downloadd Python, hence the apparent reason of my lack of that Python utility. ;-) After some research and questioning on the internet, I was told that a download was necessary and it's indeed advisable to download Python separately for development purposes rather than relying on Apple-supplied Python executables.

I'm glad you solved your problem. – Josiah – 2012-12-19T18:22:28.483

You may have to install Python from the python.org website to get it.
