[PYTHONMAC-SIG] Fat distributions or separate cfm68k/ppc distributions?

[Jack Jansen]

Well, it seems that almost everyone is in favor of a single fat distribution 
for the normal shared Python, preferrably with an installer. It appears that 
InstallerMaker is everyone's favourite, I will check it out.

On the other hand: ReadMeOrSuffer isn't really so apt a name anymore, since 
the amount of suffering isn't that great. So, maybe I'll stick with the 
current method with one or two modifications (like making the interpreter 
non-executable until MkPluginAliases has been run for the first time).

Something else: is anyone still using the non-cfm68k Python? Is there any need 
to continue distributing it?

Oh yes, something else again:

I have a pre-1.5a3 running on my machine, compiled with CW Pro 1. As soon as 
Guido releases 1.5a3 I'll do a mac distribution too.
