I guess those instructions are old -- we really need to update them!

I poked around via the instructions for 10.5, and found
<http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/>,

That site is no longer maintained. Partly because python.org and many package maintainers are simply releasing their own builds, and partly because Bob I. seems to be doing other things.

Personally, I still think there is a need for a site like that -- OS-X is still a strange beast that is not as widely used as the other platforms. I'd contribute to it but I'm not in a position to host it, or have the time to be the core maintainer. Oh well.

It might be best to close it, or at least add a note at the top of all the "main" pages explaining the situation. That'd be better than leaving stale data to lead new users astray.

Does anyone here have permissions to edit the python.org site?

1) It would be nice for the "quick links" in the left to point to a OS-X download too.

2) This page: http://www.python.org/download/mac/ needs updating. Joe, was that where you got your out-of-date info?

Yes, that was one of the places. I sent several suggestions to webmas...@python.org yesterday, pointing out inaccuracies and omissions that I stumbled upon.

Best,
- Joe
