+ OSX Multiple users note
+ -----------------------
+ 
+ Interaction with Mac OS X multiple users has been tested only very lightly.
+ If you install as a privileged user everything installs fine. 
+ 
+ If you install as a non-privileged user everything should install in your local
+ per-user folders. But: as there is no global PythonCore you can only run applets
+ if they reside in your toplevel Python folder.
+ 
+ If you install as a privileged user and then try to run
+ Python as another (non-privileged) user you may encounter a problem with
+ not having a preference file: the symptom is failing to import all sorts
+ of standard modules. If you remove your per-user Python preference files
+ (in ~/Library/Preferences) and then run PythonIntpreter once everything should
+ be fine.
