Minor:
The text on the first page of the installer is not scrollable. It ends  
with
the cliffhanger 'More information on MacPython can be found at...' :-)

Major:
Install dies near the end. Console shows...

2003-07-23 19:40:13.113 Installer[4036] Setting package as non OSInstall

2003-07-23 19:40:37.223 Installer[4036] *** NSTimer ignoring exception  
'NSGenericException' (reason 'The postflight script in MacPython-OSX  
failed. (code 127)') that raised during posting of timer with target  
1e2bd90 and selector 'taskCompleted:'

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework seems to be there and intact.
The only new thing in /usr/local/bin is a 0 length 'pythonw2.3'
