The MacPython wiki had fallen into disrepair (lots of spam, few updates) in part because it was an old version of Moin and maintaining it was too time-consuming, and is now at the Python wiki (http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython). The Python wiki itself seems to be more secure, and has a larger group of folks helping to administer it. Getting more stuff at the main Python wiki makes sense to me from a user/developer standpoint.
Skip Montanaro did the MacPython migration--he can probably advise on how to get the stuff moved over. --Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
