[Pythonmac-SIG] Missing extensions for Panther Python

The Python 2.3.0 distributed with Mac OS X 10.3 is missing three 
extensions typically found on other platforms:
_bsddb
_tkinter
readline

Since these are part of the standard library, it is somewhat annoying 
to build them after the fact.  I have put together a little svn 
repository with the relevant setup scripts and sources:

http://svn.red-bean.com/bob/MacPythonPantherExtras/trunk/

Installer packages for these three extensions are available at:

http://pythonmac.org/packages/

Note that _bsddb and readline include their respective dependencies 
statically, where _tkinter requires TclTkAqua 8.4 from:
