I'm thinking about reviving Jack's MacPython addons idea: a small .mpkg that will install IDLE.app, a 64-bit command-line interpreter and some small fixes (such as the distutiles one). That should make Leopard's builtin python a lot more useable without requireing people to basicly install the same version of python that is already on their system. My only problem in this regard is a complete lack of time to do this in :-(.
