I've installed Bob's version of Python 2.4.1 recently under Tiger and found it to go much more smoothly for me than anything I tried to do with the "official" or for that matter "Bob's" python under Panther. I could not get the requisite Tcl-aqua libraries installed properly under Panther (not that I tried very hard when it didn't work out of the box). Personally, as someone new to Macs (long time Python user ... well, 4+ years, anyhow) coming from Windows/Linux, I found it very difficult to get oriented as to what I should try to install on my Mac for using up-to-date Python. (Clearly, this is reflected in the originating email for this thread, as well as a recent post at discussions.apple.com in the Developer forum under the title "Python".) Newcomers to Mac have a very difficult time at present deciding what Python to install and I think it is a real shame that the MacPython site, officially linked from Python.org, does not clearly and plainly address this issue. I've lurked on this list for a few months now, and it took me a long time to figure out where and how to get "Bob's" python. It shouldn't be that hard. (Yes, I know I could have just asked...but how many people do you want posting to this list asking that question all the time? It should be easy to figure out from the web pages...) Sorry for the Tuesday morning rant.
