I was surprised at the lack of a Mac build as well. I think the reason is that there are few libraries available for 3.0 right now. For example, it will be some time before wxPython, the various database drivers, and other popular add-ons will be updated to the 3.0 syntax. I installed Py3 for Mac, but there isn't a lot I can do with it yet. I think many are in this camp.

If you want to install it now (like many of us have), here's a good page about how to compile it. It's pretty easy.

I have no idea when the .dmg download will be available.

Given the recent release of Python 3.0, I've been surprised to see no mention of a Mac release of this. Is anyone working on an official release? If so, is there an expected release date?

Thanks,
