That would be cool.  I'm optimistic that Apple will maintain Python  
better this time around (heck, the last security update already  
included one for python, tho I didn't see what that was).

I've been thinking of trying to build a 64bit python executable  
myself, to run some non-carbon based python stuff.  Lack of time here,  
too, but it's quieting down so I may look at it soon.
