[Pythonmac-SIG] Python for Tiger PPC I found your wonderful page at <http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/index.html> that has numpy and PIL for Tiger, which I can't find anywhere else, but I'm trying to run pymapper <http://pymapper.com>, which requires Python 2.6 or later (but not Python 3). Do these binaries exist anywhere? Or am I stuck trying to figure out how to build them? Thanks! Jim

Yes indeed. My PIL Mac binary installers are here:

P.S. Last November Fredrik Lundh said he would serve them, but it's 
never happened. I recently emailed him to check remind him, but no 
answer. Rather discouraging.
