Not being a Mac user either, I've been using Mac OS X for about a year now for most of my development. I've got mixed feelings about macports: It's painful to use, compared to things like rpm and apt, but... it might be the best that's available for the Mac. I'm not going to trust it to give me a usable Python, though, in spite of not having had problems with Pythons it provides. Just 'cause I've gotten paranoid. > I'm copying the pydotorg list to see what, if anything, they have to > say about it.

If there are content maintainers for the Mac content (including installation packages of whatever form), then python.org is the right place for it. Presumably //someone// is creating those now, right? If they could upload them to python.org and update the pages accordingly, that should be no worse than anything they're doing now. -Fred -- Fred Drake <fdrake at acm.org>
