I seem to remember a while back there was mention of a bug that prevented Python from working on dual-processor Macintoshes. Can anyone tell me: * Does this bug still exist? * If so, is it just the classic and/or carbon versions of MacPython that are affected, or does it apply to the unix command-line version as well? This is rather important to me right now, since I'm thinking of getting a new Mac, and I don't want to end up with something that won't run Python!

No, it was solved in 2.2.1, I think.

Just in MacPython-OS9, the unix-Python of OSX wasn't affected. And only on OSX in native mode, OS9 and the classic emulator in OSX didn't exhibit the problem either. In other words, if you're think of using Python 2.3 on OSX there is absolutely no problem. -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman
