[Pythonmac-SIG] Status of Python 3.0 for Mac?

[Conan C. Albrecht]

I was surprised at the lack of a Mac build as well.  I think the  
reason is that there are few libraries available for 3.0 right now.   
For example, it will be some time before wxPython, the various  
database drivers, and other popular add-ons will be updated to the 3.0  
syntax.  I installed Py3 for Mac, but there isn't a lot I can do with  
it yet.  I think many are in this camp.

If you want to install it now (like many of us have), here's a good  
page about how to compile it.  It's pretty easy.

I have no idea when the .dmg download will be available.
