[Pythonmac-SIG] Which Python for Panther?

Hi again folks-

Okay, I bit the bullet and am upgrading to Panther as I type.  Now the
question is, what Python should I use?  Should I just use the supplied
2.3, with the Panther add-ons?  Or can I build 2.3.4 (framework) from
source?  The MacPy on OS X page notes an extension conflict using MacPy
2.3.3, but states "We hope to solve this for 2.3.4."  Was it solved?

If I do build 2.3.4, can I use the Panther add-ons as provided?  Are
they even necessary if I build from source?

Thanks,
Tom
