Well, actually, it may be possible to run them on Panther, as they are
pure-Python tools, and I'm using "build applet" to wrap them against
Bob's 2.4.1 package. Bob, am I correct that that your MacPython build
supports both 10.3 and 10.4?

If a Panther user can test SPE and the other apps bundled with it, I
would appreciate it. If they work, then I'll add Panther as a supported
platform.

This brings me to a related question. How many of you find SPE, wxGlade,
etc. useful? The feedback I've gotten, both public and private,
indicates that most of you try them, find them buggy and crash-prone
(which they certainly were under Python 2.3 and wxPython 2.5.x), and
don't use them.

On the other hand, they get at least 50 downloads a month on average, so
obviously some people are giving them a try.

I'll certainly keep maintaing them/updating them as long as I'm able,
because it dovetails with my own needs. But knowing there's actually a
real user base, with interest in the applications, would be helpful in
planning how to move forward with these packages.
