This list is not updated for Panther (panther is darwin-7.0).  It's  
possible to make it work (this is a workaround, not a solution!) by  
moving the files from the  
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site- 
packages to /Library/Python/2.3/ -- you can make it work even smoother  
by removing the  
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site- 
packages folder and putting a symlink named "site-packages" to   
/Library/Python/2.3/ in its place.  Note again, this is a workaround!   
Please be ready to re-install these packages once I have a real Panther  
distribution of them ready.

I do plan on updating everything on my list for Panther in the next  
week or so, and will probably discontinue my Jaguar support as I don't  
really have the time/desire to maintain two sets of packages right now.  
  I'll make a post to this list as soon as the Panther list is  
available.
