[Pythonmac-SIG] install again?

[Charles Hartman]

Hence, yet again, a plea for newbies everywhere:

I continue to believe that it really, really shouldn't be necessary  
for people who want to write programs in Python for the Mac to do all  
this. Great to learn as much as possible, yes, always -- but to  
require people, just to get started, to learn about shells and the  
Terminal, which they may never have dealt with before, even if they  
have a variety of Mac programming experience, is not to put Python on  
its best footing.
