[Pythonmac-SIG] PackMan issue

[Dethe Elza]

I've just updated to Panther and I'm trying to get my Python 
environment working again.  I grabbed the Panther Add-ons and began 
installing what was missing.  Around Tkinter the PackageManager crashed 
and wouldn't restart successfully.  In the console was the error, 
"Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)."  
I deleted the _tkinter.so and PackageManager started working again.  I 
was able to load the Pygames package list from URL (it would be nice if 
PackMan could remember this between invokations) and load the Pygames 
dependencies, but things started going south again.  Now PackageManager 
is no longer crashing, but the same message is showing up in the 
console.  I'm not able to install packages, but it just quietly fails 
now, with no info except that message in the console.  How can I go 
about finding what is causing PackMan to fail?

As for intelligent machines taking over, a machine does not have to be 
intelligent to conquer the world; it merely has to be desireable.  
We've already lost a war to a synthetic species--the automobile--that 
has killed more than 15 million people; occupied all of our cities 
except Venice, Italy; and continues to exact crushing taxes in 
resources, wealth, and time from over half the planet--and everybody 
wants one. --Grant Thompson
