It is basically a standard OS X version of Python with a bunch of extra packages. It doesn’t quite behave like a Linux installation because Apple just has to be different. In particular, EPD, like the system’s installation of Python and the official python.org binaries, provides a framework build. This is not a bad thing, by any means! You can install any other Python module you like. Overriding EPD packages shouldn’t be any trickier than deleting the package from site-packages before installing your own. Back to top.
