The news:
- The Mac binary installer for python.org Python 2.6 works on my Mac
OS X 10.4 and 10.5 machines (both Intel). However, it segfaults on my
10.6 machine if there is no existing ~/.matplotlib and ~/.fontconfig.
If others could test this it would be most helpful. I have not yet
tried it on 10.3.9.
To reiterate: a proper test is:
- delete ~/.matplotlib if it exists
- delete ~/.fontconfig if it exists
- run python and try to import pylab or matplotlib

Christoph and Russell -- if you have time could you build win32 and
OSX binaries for testing as well. I don't believe either of you
have developer permissions to upload directly to this site, but I
would be happy to add you if you send me an sf id. Alternatively,
you can upload them to a site of your choosing and I'll upload them
for you (drop.io was acquired by facebook and no longer works).
There are a number of bugs and patches on the tracker that it would
have been nice to tackle before this release, but there have been
enough improvements in the branch that delaying at this point would
be a case of the perfect being the enemy of the good so I think we
should move forward now. Nonetheless, if there are important bugs
or patches that anyone can tackle before we cut the final release,
that would be great.
In sf, we used to be able to tag a file as the preferred file for a
given OS, but in the new file manager interface I no longer see a
way to do this, so that for example the rc files don't show up as
the default download options. Does anyone know how to do this, or
perhaps someone can suggest a drop.io replacement that supports
multiple user uploaders (eg the different binary builders) and
public, no-registration downloads. I googled a bit and didn't find
anything that fit the bill.
