I've done another update to my Package Manager repository, which is at:
	http://undefined.org/python/pimp/darwin-6.6-Power_Macintosh.plist

I've gotten a little less lazy and added a script to generate a html 
summary of the repository's contents with instructions:
	http://undefined.org/python/pimp/darwin-6.6-Power_Macintosh.html

Since there's a nice HTML version now, I'm just going to include deltas 
this time:

New Packages:
	tables 0.7.1 A hierarchical database for Python ( 
http://pytables.sf.net/ )
	python-lzo 1.08 Python bindings for the LZO data compression library ( 
http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/ )
	numarray 0.7 An array processing package modelled after Numeric ( 
http://stsdas.stsci.edu/numarray/ )
	TECManager 0.1 Pythonic wrapper for the Text->Unicode functionality of 
Text Encoding Conversion Manager ( http://undefined.org/python/  )
	IPython 0.5.0  An enhanced interactive Python shell. ( 
http://ipython.scipy.org )
	bsddb 4.1.6 Python interface for BerkeleyDB 3.1 thru 4.1 ( 
http://pybsddb.sf.net/ )
	piddle 1.0.15 Piddle:Plug In Drawing, Does Little Else. A 
cross-platform drawing library ( http://piddle.sourceforge.net )

Updated Packages:
	aeve 0.0.3 (was 0.0.2) Pythonic AppleEvent Support for Python ( 
http://undefined.org/python/ )
	Pyro 3.3 (was 3.3beta) Powerful but easy-to-use distributed object 
middleware for Python ( http://pyro.sourceforge.net/ )

I still (again) haven't gotten around to making any "Extras" packages 
for anything.

I haven't made a lot of progress on SciPy (haven't tried since last 
mention).  I started to port rpy, but that is one ugly monster (it does 
really awful things, especially the Quartz version: 
http://www.economia.unimi.it/R/ ), it works, but stdout+stderr stop 
working...  Looks like I won't be able to use their precompiled 
version.  I started to dink around with reportlab, but it doesn't seem 
to be putting its fonts in the right place (likely a quick distutils 
fix).

This is my current relatively-interested-in-hacking-or-packaging list 
in no particular order:
	SciPy
	chaco
	rpy
	reportlab
	biggles
	Gnuplot
	python-ldap
	pyogg
	pyvorbis
	VTK
	Soya 3D
	psyco (if the ppc-compatible written-in-C IVM has any benefit)

If anyone has any requests for modules that aren't yet covered by 
myself or Jack, let me know and I'll look into it.
