Hi All,

I know this comes up every few months, but there is never a definitive 
answer given.

The short version is: what is the best Python to use under Leopard?

The longer version is: What is the best Python to use under leopard if:
    - I want to use PyObjC
    - I want to use more recent versions of packages like numpy that 
come installed
    - I want to use ipython and readline
    - I think I want to be able to use more recent versions of Python 
(and I certainly will once 2.6 comes out).

Currently I am using a framework build of 2.5.1 (since I was doing so 
under Tiger) but this seems to be a problem for pyobjc.

It would also be great if there were a single place on the web where 
this is answered; if you search -- even with this group -- you get very 
different pieces of advice.

Yours,

Andrew
