For numpy and scipy we use bdist_mkg to build dmg installers, and we had

This has been an issue for along time -- but I never got as far as
figuring out a patch -- thanks!
I hope Ronald will get a chance to apply it.

System Python means from python.org <http://python.org>
instead of Apple Python, so I can understand the confusion. You can find
the details in http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/ticket/1177. I propose
this fix for plists.py:
94c94,99
< title = u'%s requires %s to install.' % (pkgname, name,)

I hope this change can end up in the next bdist_mpkg version.
Also, it would be helpful to have a correct email address on PyPi. I
contacted Bob Ippolito, who referred me to this list or Ronald Oussoren
(of whom I have no address).
