This gives an idea: would DarwinPackages or Fink be viable 
alternatives for MacPython package management? This would certainly 
save the time and hassle of rewriting and maintaining PackMan if a 
standard existing system could be leveraged immediately more or less 
for free.

Anyone familiar with OS X-compatible package managers have any 
thoughts on this?

...

Also, this reminds me: I never did get around to filing a feature 
request re. PyMod 
<http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/PyMod.app.sit>, which 
provides a simple GUI frontend for building, installing and 
registering distutils-based packages. I've added a comment to '[ 
779160 ] Enhance PackageManager functionality' feature request on 
sourceforge indicating it is available for inclusion in MacPython 2.4 
(which, given PM's shortcomings in this area, I'd recommend).

If I should submit a separate feature request as well, can somebody 
please let me know.

Thanks,

has
