Hm.  Unfortunate to make a "release" that doesn't include quite the  
right
build script. For the record, attached are my changes to the build  
script to
get it to work.  (I'm trying to build the OS-X "stackless" variant for
distribution for 2.6).

I'm assuming that the following are correct and intended:

1- the name of the Mac python install folder in /Applications should  
now be
    "Python<version>" rather than "MacPython<version>"
2- the filename of the released documentation from the ftp site  
changed from
    "html-<version>.tar.bz2" to "python-docs-html.tar.bz2"

But I notice that your posted dmg does NOT include the
"Update Shell Profile.command"  Should that be gone now?

My /Library/Framework.../Documentation/...html files build slightly  
differently
than yours...

Also I notice that my build has usually slightly smaller exe and .so  
sizes
than yours (that could be due to different versions of compiler I  
suppose)

Can you let me know when/if/where you commit changes to build- 
installer.py?
Thanks,
-Jas
