Great idea, Rodney.  I think we probably need a number of pages like
this, kind of an FAQ set.  I think the main page should just cover one
or two things (how to run python, how to upgrade), and lots of
pointers to these pages.  Each of these should be fairly clear, with
pointers off to more complicated explanations.

Here's the start of a list:

1)  What's the difference between "python" and "pythonw"?
2)  What's the advantage of upgrading?
3)  What do I do if I want to use pre-built packages?
4)  How do I use the Apple GUI toolkit from Python?
5)  How do I use Apple Events from Python?
6)  How do I build a real Mac application written in Python?
7)  How do I install extra modules, like PIL, for the system Python?
8)  What IDE's are available, and what are their relative merits?
