Python universal binary for OSX

[j.scott.miller@gmail.com]

Hello everyone,

I recently made the plunge to an mactel platform because, well, it was
new laptop time. I have a few python projects I need to get going and,
for the most part, things are a-ok. I have been using a source
compiled copy of 2.4.2. I feel slightly uncomfortable doing this,
mainly because I feel like the package installation would have better
support for pygtk and other more tightly-coupled libraries (I am having
zero success with pygtk at the moment - another story... if anyone
would like to comment on this, feel free :). Is this likely to be the
case with the package installation?

Also, does anyone have an idea on the release - nothing to specific,
just want to see if it is going to be on the order of weeks, months or
(yikes) years.

Thanks for any help!

Scott

Weeks, I think. Check out recent posts on the PythonMac-SIG.
