No, and I doubt we'll find out what it really means until Panther is
out and NDAs expire.  One consequence is that 10.3 will ship with a
less messed up Python build than 10.2, so it should be possible to
ship non-trivial Python applications to Panther users without having
to include Python (i.e. you can just use the --semi-standalone option
to buildbuilder).
