It's a Python thing mostly.

Are there any problems running that one on Tiger? The Panther build works just fine on Tiger. Usually, Python packages built on Panther will also work on Tiger. I am currently using the semi-official Python 2.4.1 build from www.python.org on Tiger. The packages at pythonmac.org for 2.4.1 work just fine on Tiger. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
