The diskimage is usually built for the python binary supplied by python.org -- that is what the message means by the "system version". I tried to submit a patch to change that message a year or two ago, but I guess it never got applied -- maybe I'll try again. A note to developers/distributors: Robin Dunn figured out a way to install a binary wxPython that will work with both the Apple and the python.org binaries. What it does it put it in /usr/local, and then put a pth file in both of the pythons so that it can be found. A bit of a hack, but it works, and I've never heard anyone have a problem with it. Perhaps we should do the same thing with MPL -- I'm sure he'd be glad to share his scripts for building it. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
