[Pythonmac-SIG] So confused! MacPython-OSX 2.3a1, 2.4?

[Kurt Marek]

I was excited to see mentioned on Jack's page that there was a 
MacPython-OSX 2.3a1 that includes basically everything (IDE, etc). 
Unfortunately, there is no link or instructions for installing it. I 
downloaded the OS9 version and it says to download the OSX version from 
source and use frameworks, but that is a little over my head without 
some elaboration on instructions. I then found on this list a mention 
of a binary on the sourceforge pages. Unfortunately, I found no binary 
for MacPython-OSX 2.3a1. Instead I found lots of 2.4 stuff including 
wxPython. I have no idea what that is. I'm assuming that these are the 
developmental branches.

Can someone please help me out with how to proceed? I've been waiting 
for an OSX version of Python with an IDE that also works with the 
command line. I'm just getting started and it has been quite 
frustrating wading through all of these different versions without a 
clue where to start.

thanks,
Kurt
