[Pythonmac-SIG] ANN: MacEnthon 0.1

[Robert Kern]

MacEnthon is the OS X counterpart to the popular "Enthought Edition" of 
Python: a convenient bundling of a number of packages geared for the 
scientific community. Right now, it targets the Apple-installed Python 
2.3.0. Once I am satisfied with this release, I will consider cutting a 
release for Python 2.4.1. This is still just a test release. Please do 
not tell newbies to go install it, yet.

New in this release:

  - some updates to packages from CVS/SVN
  - all documentation is now under /Developer/Python
  - enthonutil.py, a module that allows you to easily make your own 
"sumo" distribution; see /Developer/Python/MacEnthon/enthonutil-example.py

For a full list of packages, please see the ReadMe:

To download:

   http://download.enthought.com/MacEnthon/MacEnthon-0.1.dmg

Included is a CLI uninstaller, enthonbegone.py . It may leave a few 
empty directories some .pyc's hanging about, but otherwise it works 
fairly well. See its help for more information.

When you encounter problems, packaging/build bugs, or missing 
documentation, please log it on the Enthon issue tracker and assign the 
issue to "rkern":

I haven't gotten much feedback, so I can only assume that it's perfect. 
Barring anything particularly idiotic that I've done, I will probably 
only make one more "final" MacEnthon for Python 2.3.0. When I recover 
from that, I'll start thinking about 2.4.1.
