Maybe, maybe not. Who knows what apple will do? ;-) ;-) I agree that anyone that ships Python applications shouldn't rely on Apple's python unless they have a very good reason to do so (such as wanting to use Apple's Quartz wrappers).
Given these caveats and limited resources, the vendor Python is absolutely irrelevant as far as I am concerned. If someone wants to deal with separate support and documentation for what ships with Mac OS X 10.3, Mac OS X 10.4, and Mac OS X 10.5 then have fun, but I am NOT interested in that.
This is a very good reason for not pointing newbies to the system python on pythonmac.org: unless anyone steps up to *seriously* support the system python there won't be properly packages extension packages for the system python. I do support system python for PyObjC, but even there it is mostly "lets check if it still works" around release time. For day-to-day work I'm using a framework installation of Python 2.4. Ronald
