(deleted thread as it was getting too long) About this icon discussion, why don't we use a solution that maintains, reinforces, and capitalizes on the overall identity of cross-platform Python while distinguishing the OS X Mac-Python port by just taking the new Blue-Yellow Python logo and 'aquafying it' by beveling and 'glassing' it? As long as the Python logo caretakers don't think that dlitues the brand or trademark significantly that is. HAS has expressed concerns about regarding our deviating too much from the Python brand and I agree with him on that. Perhaps we could then get Active State, which has ported Komodo to OS X (which I use and fidn pretty good as cross platform IDE for Perl and Python) to maybe put it on their page. Yes, I know they do their own version but I also know their version doesn't include a lot this one does. But they are 'employee-owned' now and might agree that helping teh MacPython brand was in the community interest. Worth a try, but first you need to agree on a logo.
(side note: Active State Python omits not only Apple stuff--they don't include SSL incredibly. I discovered this while creating a Gmail mailing script. Gmail requires TLS, but it failed to find SSL on my WIndows box because I was using Active State's Python--it was found once I removed it and installed the Python.org Windows port. Shame.) _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
