Hi gang,
things have been moving faster than I had anticipated, and I've put
together a fat installer for 2.1a3. The installer, at
http://www.cwi.nl/ftp/jack/python/mac/MacPython21a3full.bin will
install either classic Python (if you have a non-carbon pre-macos9
machine) carbon Python (if you have a macosx machine) or both (if you
have macos 8 or 9 with CarbonLib installed). It also has the MacOSX
Configure bug fixed (I hope: I haven't tested it yet, I'll leave that
to you folks or do it tomorrow).

If you have a machine on which both classic and carbon are installed
the installation will be pre-configured for carbon (if all goes
well:-).

I'd like everyone with some spare time to try this release. Barring
any showstoppers we can then go to beta distributions!

Oh yes: the installer is a hefty 8MB. I'm going to look into doing an
active installer (which only retrieves the bits that are needed).
