+If you are attempting to install on an OS X 10.8+ system, you may
+see a message that Python can't be installed because it is from an
+unidentified developer.  This is because this Python installer
+package is not yet compatible with the Gatekeeper security feature
+introduced in OS X 10.8.  To allow Python to be installed, you
+can override the Gatekeeper policy for this install.  In the Finder,
+instead of double-clicking, control-click or right click the "Python"
+installer package icon.  Then select "Open using ... Installer" from
+the contextual menu that appears.
 
-MacPython consists of the Python programming language
-interpreter, plus a set of programs to allow easy
-access to it for Mac users including an integrated development
-environment, IDLE, plus a set of pre-built extension modules
-that open up specific Macintosh technologies to Python programs.
+               **** IMPORTANT ****
 
-The installer puts the applications in "Python $VERSION" 
-in your Applications folder, command-line tools in
-/usr/local/bin and the underlying machinery in
-$PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR.
+Update your version of Tcl/Tk to use IDLE or other Tk applications
+==================================================================
 
-More information on MacPython can be found at
-http://www.python.org/download/mac/.
+To use IDLE or other programs that use the Tkinter graphical user
+interface toolkit, you may need to install a newer third-party version
+of the Tcl/Tk frameworks.  Visit http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/
+for current information about supported and recommended versions of
+Tcl/Tk for this version of Python and of Mac OS X.

+The installer puts applications, an "Update Shell Profile" command,
+and a link to the optionally installed Python Documentation into the
+"Python $VERSION" subfolder of the system Applications folder,
+and puts the underlying machinery into the folder
+$PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR. It can
+optionally place links to the command-line tools in /usr/local/bin as
+well. Double-click on the "Update Shell Profile" command to add the
+"bin" directory inside the framework to your shell's search path.
+
+You must install onto your current boot disk, even though the
+installer may not enforce this, otherwise things will not work.
+
+You can verify the integrity of the disk image file containing the
+installer package and this ReadMe file by comparing its md5 checksum
+and size with the values published on the release page linked at
+http://www.python.org/download/

+Installation requires approximately $INSTALL_SIZE MB of disk space,
