[Pythonmac-SIG] 2.3b1 installer options

[Jack Jansen]

Kevin,
wxPython is in the package manager. For technical reasons it's a 
"hidden" package right
now, and you have to install it by hand, but at least it's there.

There's a problem with it, however: after you've installed it the 
Package Manager (or
the IDE, when you've used the Package Manager) will crash on quit.

This probably has something to do with IDE and the PackageManager event 
loop (classic
Event Manager) and/or a fight between wxPython and 
IDE/PackageManager/W/Framework
over appleevents (the crash seems to be in an AppleEvent handler).

PackMan imports wxPython to test its existence, but doesn't do anything 
more with it.

Could you investigate, please?
