[New-bugs-announce] [issue11079] Make OS X entry in Applications like that in Windows

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net>:

In Applications, the 3.2 entry includes:
* Python Launcher
* IDLE
* Update Shell.Profile Command
* Extras directory

The latter should be dropped (most of the tools only make sense from the command-line) and should be replaced by a link to the docs:

file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/index.html

This setup better matches what we offer in Windows and it makes the docs more accessible.

The Windows setup also includes an uninstall option.  It would be nice if OS X did the same, but I don't know if that is the way of the Mac.
