Does that mean that if I download the 2.4.x upgrade installer and run
it on my 10.4.4 machine, I do not need to run the TigerPython24Fix?

Why do I need to run it separately anyway? Why isn't just part of the
regular upgrade installer, run if necessary?

And for that matter, why not include TigerPython23Compat as part of
the MacPython installer?

And how about bundling tcltkaqua into it, as well?

I'm glad to hear that about IDLE.app.  But I'm depressed again when I
read pages like
http://rlai.cs.ualberta.ca/RLAI/RLsoftware/PythonLinks.html#IDLE.  My
impression from reading that is that MacPython IDLE.app is extensively
broken.
