I'm in a similar boat with my old MBP, and I am not upgrading my somewhat newer one because of compatibility with other software. But OTOH, I have never installed the binary releases, I just build them from MacPorts, so as long as that still works, I'm happy. (I have a 8mo Air running the latest Lion and will likely update that when Mavericks is out.) -Barry _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
