[Pythonmac-SIG] Some questions about going to MacOS X 10.4

[Russell E. Owen]

I've been considering upgrading my Mac to 10.4.2. However, I notice that 
there are very few python packages for 10.4 at 
<http://pythonmac.org/packages/>. I was wondering if this was innocuous 
(i.e. those who build such packages just aren't at 10.4 themselves) or 
something more ominous such as a problem with building python packages 
on 10.4?

Also, I distribute a semi-standalone python app (which includes 
everything except python itself). Right now it's compatible with 10.3.x 
and 10.4.x. But if I upgrade...are users on 10.3.9 likely to be able to 
use an app created under 10.4.x 9 (with the built-in python 2.3.5)? In 
case it matters, I presently create the app with bundlebuilder, though I 
plan to switch to py2app someday.

As an aside, I'd love to upgrade to python 2.4.x but then to distribute 
my app I'd have to figure out how to build a fully standalone app (one 
that includes python).
