Well, it's not the worst thing in the world to use Apple's python, but I still don't think that it's the best either: - The Apple python has never been updated - Anything built for it will only work on 10.6 - you can't use py2app and get a fully self-contained binary - I can't remember the others. Anyway, it's been common practice to build binaries for the python.org python -- it's the way to reach the widest audience. MPL used to do this. I suspect the latest binary is a mistake, but if not, it should be Clearly labeled as for the ApplePython2.6-osx-10.6, and ideally, a python.org compatible binary provided as well. I'm sorry I can't find the time to do that myself right now. -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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
