Panther 7B21 with the Panther 7B21 dev tools, AquaTclTk installed,  
MacPython 2.3 "final"
(Darwin Kernel is still Version 7.0.0b1)

PackageManager still has the "Overwrite" acts recursive for  
dependencies bug.  You'll still get messages like this:  
(AppleDevTools): This package needs to be installed manually (no  
Download-URL field) if you overwrite.

http://www.python.org/packman/version-0.3/darwin-6.6- 
Power_Macintosh.plist:
	Documentation-2.3-binary
		- Assuming it works?  Didn't bother to test
	PyObjC-1.0b1-source
		- Works
	readline-2.3-source
		- Works
	Numeric-22.0-source
		- Works
	PyOpenGL-2.0.1.04beta-source
		- Works, but:
			Apple's GLUT changes the cwd to the Resources directory of  
Python.app when you glutInit (i forgot about this one)
			I didn't get Togl, is this a TclTk battery or a PyOpenGL+_tkinter  
thing?
	PIL-1.1.4-source
		- Works, but:
			did not get jpeg (not already installed)
			did not get freetype (not already installed)
		- I'll make a source recipe that downloads and compiles  
libjpeg/freetype and links these statically
	_tkinter-2.3-binary
		- Works
		- I'll make a source recipe for this
	IDLE-2.3-binary
		- Works, but:
			has the to-be-expected-from-AquaTclTk display bugs and messed up  
"tear-off" menus
