10.4 and 10.3: broken lilypond-book and convert-ly. The broken
convert-ly is particularly unfortunate given the syntax changes between
2.10 and 2.12.
These Python scripts require Python 2.4, which is not provided in 10.3
and 10.4; ideally we should cross-compile Python and ship it in GUB
binaries, but it could be a nightmare to make it possible (I cannot even
compile current GUB right now, so I'm far from being able to do this
within one or 2 weeks).
The only solution on short term is asking users to install Python 2.4 or
2.5 manually; IIRC Python scripts and/or their wrappers also need to be
edited to make them call the right Python, don't they?
Do we -really- want to issue a new stable release
containing masses of syntax changes with a broken
convert-ly for many Mac users?
I think that would be a mistake.
