I saw this today on http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.3/

"""
Ronald Oussoren has created a universal installer for Mac OS X 10.3
and later - you can just fetch Universal-MacPython-2.4.3.dmg. The
Universal MacPython 2.4.3 image contains an installer for python 2.4.3
that works on Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later on both PPC and Intel macs and
includes both bsddb and readline."""

I've been so irritated with pre-packaged Python's (including Fink and
DarwinPorts) that I've compiled it myself pretty consistently for the
past year or so.  I'll probably try this new release though, as I like
having supported software (as I'm lazy).

How do you other Mac folks get your Python on?
