Python3 on MacOsX Lion?

[K Richard Pixley]

Where would I look to find the current expected status of python3 on 
MacOsX Lion?

The distributed binaries aren't capable of allowing extensions that use gcc.

I can build the source naked, but then it lacks some libraries, notably, 
readline.

Attempting to build the full Mac packages fails, even with the few tiny 
patches I used for 2.7.2.

Is anyone working on this?  Are there pre-release patches available?

Should I be asking elsewhere?
