Hello all,

Now that I have things more or less back to the original for 10.6 on my 
Macbook, I'd like to install a slightly more up-to-date version for 
learning to develop with.  Some of the things I'm interested in working 
with include wxpython/dabo, tkinter (with the new ttk themed widgets), 
pygame, etc.  On the one hand I'd rather just jump straight to 3.1.x at 
this point, but since a lot of the above don't seem to be ported to 3.x 
yet... I guess that limits my choices?

So... which route would you recommend, and why:  MacPython from 
python.org, Activestate Python, or MacPorts python.  Pros and cons would 
be appreciated.

Thanks,

Monte
