It would be nice if the universal installer for 2.4.2 also installed  
the 2.4.2 version of the python documentation
in Mac Help format. I have the framework python 2.4.2 but the mac  
help docs are still 2.4.1. Somewhere sometime ago
there was an installer for the reference docs in mac help format. I  
haven't seen anything for 2.4.2
