Python 2.3.0
   - all of the extensions you would typically expect
       - except for readline and waste
   - with the addition of the closed-source CoreGraphics SWIG wrapper 
from Apple

Waste is best obtained from the MacPython 2.3 additions from Jack's 
official MacPython page, and readline can be easily acquired via 
PackageManager or pimp (with or without the additions, respectively)

Even if I knew, which I don't, it probably shouldn't be talked about 
here (since anyone who gets to see it next month is under NDA).

In any case, I'm hoping that whatever Tiger's preview has is flexible, 
because we still don't have the -undefined dynamic_lookup patches into 
CVS HEAD, let alone the 2.3 tree.. I really really really really really 
really really would like to have that stuff in 10.4 because
Fatal Python Error: Interpreter Not initialized (version mismatch?)
