[Pythonmac-SIG] New binary installers for numpy, PIL and matplotlib for 32-bit python 2.7

[Russell E. Owen]

I have build three binary installers for the python.org 32-bit Python 
2.7 (compatible with 10.3.9 and later):

numpy 1.5.0 (see note 1)
matplotlib 1.0.0 (see note 2)
PIL 1.1.7

They are available here:
<http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/rowen/python/>

Please test them and let me know if they work for you. So far I have 
tried them on 10.4 Intel (where I built them) and 10.5 Intel. 

Notes:
1) the numpy 1.5.0 binary installer that is served by the numpy folks 
does NOT work with 32-bit python 2.7. That is why I made a new installer.
2) I doubt matplotlib works with wxAgg because I used the wxPython 
binary installer for 2.7, and I fear it may only be compatible with 
64-bit python. I only tested TkAgg.

If matplotlib does not work with wxAgg then does anyone know how hard it 
is to build wxPython from source? I've never tried it.

While we are going through the uncomfortable transition between 32-bit 
and 64-bit python (e.g. while we still support Mac OS X 10.4) it would 
really help if folks who make binary installers were explicit about 
which version of Python they are for (32-bit or 64-bit).
