Here's a first draft of a summary of significant Pythonological matters in 2003.
* What significant things did I miss?
The 2.3 release was pretty huge for the MacPython community (off the top of my head): PackageManager framework build included in OS X 10.3 (versus a buggy non-linkable 2.2 build in OS X 10.2) near-complete set of extensions "out of the box" (versus a big list of missing ones in OS X 10.2) some support from Apple in their Developer Tools a SWIG wrapper for the CoreGraphics API example scripts/documentation for using the CoreGraphics API through Python the inclusion of BuildApplet Important enough to Apple such that they mentioned Python and CoreGraphics in their 10.3 press release I'm pretty sure the Python 2.3 release schedule was even tweaked such that it could make it into OS X 10.3 on time New MacPython community site (wiki and FAQ): http://pythonmac.org/ -bob
