My two cents: the link to pythonmac.org should be removed, especially for downloading an installer for Python. The main 2.5.x download pages already have a binary installer for OSX (10.3.9 or later), the copy on pythonmac.org is just that: an (outdated) copy of the installer on the main python.org download page.
There's also a collection of installers for various packages (such as PIL) on there, which make it easy to install such packages without trying to build them yourself and without pulling in all of macports or fink. Sadly enough that package collection doesn't seem to be maintained at the moment.

Does anyone have connections with the owners of pythonmac.org? Apparently they are serving up an ancient version of Python 2.5. The Google App Engine has a minor issue in 2.5 that's solved in 2.5.1, but that is apparently not available from that site. Perhaps we can contribute more recent Mac versions, or provide them directly on python.org? (The Downloads -> Macintosh page points to pythonmac.org, which means lots of All Engine users download this old version.) -- --Guido van Rossum (home: python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/ronaldoussoren%40mac.com
