On Mac OS, you have to go through a bit more effort to supply
command-line arguments to the setup script:
\begin{itemize}
\item hit option-double-click on the script's icon (or option-drop it
onto the Python interpreter's icon)
\item press the ``Set unix-style command line'' button
\item set the ``Keep stdio window open on termination'' if you're
interested in seeing the output of the setup script (which is usually
voluminous and often useful)
\item when the command-line dialog pops up, enter ``install'' (you
can, of course, enter any Distutils command-line as described in this
document or in \citetitle[../dist/dist.html]{Distributing Python
Modules}: just leave off the initial \code{python setup.py} and
you'll be fine)
\end{itemize}
On Mac OS 9, you double-click the \file{setup.py} script. It will bring
up a dialog where you can select the \command{install} command. Then
selecting the \command{run} button will install your distribution.
The dialog is built dynamically, so all commands and options for this
specific distribution are listed.

platforms that have such a notion but the Distutils additionally
define a few extra variables that may not be in your environment, such

environment variables, such as Mac OS (\XXX{true?}), the configuration
environment variables, such as Mac OS 9, the configuration
variables supplied by the Distutils are the only ones you can use.)
