It is long ago, so I'm not 100% sure what I say here is correct, but I 
think that 1.5.2 was built with CW Pro 5.0 or 5.1. The
:Mac:Demo:building.html document should have the details. I used a
modified CWGUSI 1.5.2, which you can still find on the ftp site, in
ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/jack/python/mac/old .

The 2.0 source distribution should build with CW Pro 5.3 and GUSI
2.1.1.

Building with CW Pro 6 shouldn't be much of a problem, except for
GUSI. You'll need a modified GUSI 2.1.3. I'll put one up on the ftp
site later tonight.
