Fine. The next installer won't have it or need it, and I'll remove the bit about it on my sample page. > > And for that matter, why not include TigerPython23Compat as part of > > the MacPython installer? > > TigerPython23Compat allows OS X 10.4's installation Python 2.3 to use > packages built with OS X 10.3.

But IDLE.app won't work without it on 10.3, if I read this correctly.

OK, great. The Alberta page was referring to the IDLE.app that came with the MacPython installer; so that's just something to put on the TODO list for the installer.
