In january I'd like to get two MacPythons out:
- MacPython 2.4.1 (full installer for Panther, time permitting for Jaguar too)
- MacPython 2.3 additions, version 3
There is the small issue of Zope X3 not being compatible with MacPython 2.3.0 .. so perhaps a 2.3.5 distro should also be considered, or considered instead of the additions?
Well, I definitely want a version 3 of the additions, to replace the current one. A 2.3.5 MacPython distribution wouldn't tie in with Apple's Python. But is there any reason to have the whole MacPython stuff (toolbox modules, etc) to run Zope? Because if there isn't then a simple Python 2.3.5 (non-framework, standard unix build, installed into /usr/local) should do the trick. Actually, if we get everything right in the source tree then the darwinports or fink distribution should work just fine.
The second feature is that they'll finally have the newer version of Package Manager (or, actually, the underlying pimp module), which allows the maintainer (me:-) to have a single database for all 10.3.X releases of MacOSX.
Hopefully the GUI bugs are fixed too?
They should be. But could you check in the bug database whether there are any still open, please?
What about distributing a version of Ronald's written-in-PyObjC PackageManager instead, and having MacPython 2.4.1 and MacPython 2.3.5 coming batteries included with PyObjC 1.2 plus py2app 1.7 (replacing BuildApplet with py2applet)?
Later, later. First I want to get distributions out that are pretty similar to what we have now, but with the problems (conflicts when building plugin modules, endless hassle to keep PackMan database up to date) fixed.
+0 for any patches to 2.3.x explicitly for Fink or Darwinports.
Not specifically for Fink or Darwinports, but I want to get the -undefined dynamic_lookup fix into the source distributions for 2.3.x (and 2.4.x), so fink and darwinports should pick it up automatically. Unless they have their own fixes, and in that case their fixes are either just as good, or else we can scald the in public:-)
