> Python does not currently have an official Mac maintainer. Bingo! And no one has stepped up to document the amazing torrent of productive activity since Jack "retired". As a result, the useful pieces are scattered all over, the official documentation is wildly out of date, and there's not even a useful web page for MacPython.
Add to this the fact that the pre-installed Python is widely held to be useless by well-respected and influential members of the community. A parochial and self-defeating assessment, I think. By the way, is anyone a designated point-man to work with Apple on the release it packages for the next OS? Is there anyone from Apple even on this list? > Clearly the current distribution and the people responsible for it > aren't going very far to serve newbies... It's worse than that, IMO. I've got a great deal of respect and appreciation for those, like Bob and Ronald, working hard on advancing the technology pieces. Great work, just what we all need! But unless there's some effective delivery vehicle for getting that work to the customer, much of it will be wasted.
