I produced these binaries and unfortunately ran into a number of 
problems including:
- Incorrect file permissions (an odd bug in bdist_mpkg) subsequently 
fixed with a new binary
- The binary was not compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4 for 
reasons I still have not worked out.
- The Python 2.5 binary is not compatible with 3rd party Tkinter (which 
is also true of the python.org Python 2.5). I no longer make binaries 
for Python 2.5 because of this.

I finally built binaries on Mac OS X 10.4 (fixing the file permissions 
along the way) and these are available here:
<http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/rowen/python/>
they are not yet being served at the official site.

I have done some testing of TkAgg on 10.3.9 PPC, and 10.4-10.6 Intel, 
but after all the problems I would appreciate any testing. The 2.6 
version should become the official binary, but only after more 
verification.

The 2.7 is quite experimental because I don't yet have any idea if WxAgg 
works (it all depends on whether the wxPython installer for Mac Python 
2.7 is compatible with the 32-bit version of Python 2.7).
