[Pythonmac-SIG] What is the future of Python on OSX?

[Bob Ippolito]

The installed python will not run any GUI application (I suppose it 
could possibly talk to X11, if you've got that installed) without use 
of undocumented ninja magic that's quite likely to break things... I've 
done something similar before with 10.1, but I really don't recommend 
it... Likely, it might not even work because the jaguar python isn't a 
framework build.
