Python terminal

Hi all,
I would like to use python terminal, I followed the tutorial in the documentation page but there is no Python terminal option in my Avogadro 1.1.0 or 1.1.1. I’m in a MacOX mountain lion, I’ve tried to begin a discussion in the documentation page but seems that I can’t.

Thanks for the help,
Giacomo Marchioro

I don’t think the Mac version is built with Python enabled. This has
always been a packaging challenge for us due to different versions of
Python on different Mac OS X versions, if you build it yourself then
it should work (enable Python in the build), but this is far from
ideal admittedly.

http://avogadro.cc/wiki/Compiling_on_Linux_and_Mac_OS_X provides a
guide to compiling the development version, that should help you get
started if you have trouble.
