Mark, You got the ball rolling on this:

I think we have an answer: python.org does not, in general, have a lot of platform specific documentation, and we'd have to get the primary python folks to approve anything we want to put there. I think that makes pythonmac.org the best place for our new, improved, "Intro Page for Python on OS-X". Mark, are you willing to coordinate the writing of a new page[s]? I suggest we have a basic intro, and then perhaps a decision tree under the heading: What version of Python should I use? That decision tree would include things like: which version of OS-X are you running? Do you need python 2.4 features? Do you want to bundle apps for others to use? etc. And, of course, we need a pointer to a FAQ in the Wiki. I'd also suggest that we break the pythonmac.org/packages pages down into separate pages, one for each python version. I think that will make it much clearer to folks coming to it which set of packages they should look at.
