[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython 1.6a2 available

[Jack Jansen]

MacPython 1.6a2 is available in the usual place (either
ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/jack/python/mac or
http://www.cwi.nl/ftp/jack/python/mac).

I think everything is in shape again (especially the installer, after
I broke a few things last time), please give it a try and let me know
about problems: starting with the next alfa (which will probably be
shortly) I want to start advertising wider again: this one is
advertised only here on the SIG, like the previous alfa, but I think
things should be fine for "novices" again as of this one.

Changes since 1.6a1
-------------------

- All core-Python changes, plus a few from after 1.6a2, approximately
  as the Python CVS tree was at May 5.
- The threading performance bug has been fixed.
- Tkinter is included again (yeah!), but only lightly tested. Please 
  report findings to the mailing list.
- macfsn.py is auto-imported on startup (unless disabled with a
  new option).
  This retrofits macfs.StandardGetFile() and friends to use
  Navigation Services in stead of the old Standard File dialogs.
- I think all installer problems have been fixed. Please
  report if not so.
