I have an old 8500 running Mac OS 9.0.4.

The installer seemed to work fine.

The tests run ok
  (Note:  The ReadMe says that three tests will fail,
   including test_sha.  The first time I ran it, I think
   test_sha either didn't fail, or the test harness didn't
   detect its failure.   Couldn't reproduce:  test_sha
   failed as advertised, next time I ran it.)

Had a hell of a time getting any of my scripts working;
I guess they ended up, at some point, getting Unix line-endings
on them, and the PythonInterpreter appears to still be unable
to deal with that sort of file.  Pity...  The symptom is rather
unfriendly:  the python interpreter seems to want to run the
script, it throws up an interaction window, and then says
"<terminated>".

Once past that, the other (simple) scripts I tried seemed
to work fine.
