The "run in classic" check box is in the get info window on OSX. However, for 
MacPython I think I wouldn't check it, because the libraries have all been 
installed in the "wrong" place. They're in the OSX native locations, like 
/Library/CFMSupport and not in the classic locations (like /System 
Folder/Extensions).

Actually, nwo that I think of it I think that even Classic MacPython will not 
run very well under OSX, for this same reason. Although ConfigurePythonClassic 
may solve that problem all by itself, I'm not sure. Hmm, now that I think of 
it a bit more I think that maybe it _may_ work. It sort-of depends on how 
gestalt() and FindFolder() operate when they're run in the classic compatibily 
box.

I'll try and find the time to do some investigations. But I'm really busy 
right now, so it may be a few days before I get around to it.
