Nothing except that I don't have a Mac :P I only ask because the guy with the Mac tried compiling it, but got a slew of compile errors. Not too sure why, but I'll tell him at least one person has gotten it to work. Thanks for the response.

Hi all. Please be gentle--I use a PC.
I'm doing my third-year computer science project at university, and we're in the early stages of requirements testing. That said, I'm also trying to extol the virtues of Python upon the group, as I honestly believe it will be the best language for our project.
But there's always a fly in the ointment: most of us are using PCs (I run Windows+coLinux, and another member has Windows+BSD), but one member uses Mac OSX. As a result, cross-platform compatibility is a big issue for our program. Obviously, Python is great in this respect, but we wanted to use Python 2.4. This is mainly because I happen to really like generator expressions and decorators <g>.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew in even a vague sense when MacPython 2.4.1 will be released. I understand that Jack is waiting on the PythonLabs 2.4.1 release, but even having a reasonably stable preview release to work with in the meantime would be good. Will 2.4.1 be out within the next few months, or should we start looking at 2.3 instead?
Thanks for your time and patience with a heathen PC user.
I can't speak for when Jack is going to distribute a Python 2.4.1 binary release, but it compiles fine, and the Xcode developers tools are free, so there isn't much in your way of building your own Python 2.4.1.
