[Pythonmac-SIG] bin and version

[Saggau]

You can show all hidden files in the finder, too.

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool TRUE

On tiger, this causes all icons to get a little bit transparent as though
they're all hidden.

I think that there is a macosxhints discussion about this that wraps it all
up in a nice applescript or automator applet.
