By the way, I've often thought of forming a company that would produce

A set of Python environments for doing specialized development. Some 
ideas are:

--A database app environment, as easy to use as FileMaker, but with a 
real language at it's core.

--A scientific programming environment, everything that MATLAB gives 
you, but again, with a real language at the core.

--Maybe a web framework.
--And you'd probably need to do a general purpose IDE as well.
Anyone have any venture capital?
I know that there are open-source versions of all of these: SciPy, 
Dabo, Pythoncard, Zope, etc., but they don't have the polish that 
you'd need to attract the type of newbies that are at the core of this 
thread.

Well I'd certainly like two or three of those and be willing to pay.  I 
agree with your final statement re: current open-source versions.  Just 
wish I had the venture capital for you.  You have the right idea.  Good 
luck.

As for Python. As soon as there is a framework version of Python
that can be installed via a destroot for packaging, I'll add it to
DarwinPorts. Or if someone can figure out how to hack the current
version to do it...
Is there a bug report for this?
It has been fixed, see http://www.python.org/sf/1091468. The fix is 
in 2.3.5 and will be in the forthcoming 2.4.1.

I don't think I've ever done fixes that needed so many things changed 
in so many places, for the benefit of so few users. But then, I myself 
am one of those few:-)
