[Pythonmac-SIG] Framework considered harmful

[John W Baxter]

At the moment, I think I feel this way:

If I want a "straight" Python installation in Mac OS X, I'll install one.
(In fact I have, but it's only at Python 2.1 presently.)  Works fine for my
straight Python needs.  (I don't do GUI stuff in Python, on our work
machines, since we don't run X except to serve the physical consoles now
and then...and I'm at the slow end of a 56K frame connection to work
anyhow.)

If I want MacPython (after waiting for the dual processor issue to be
solved) in Mac OS X, I'd like
   1.  a simple drag and drop installation
   2.  to have it stay out of the way of the command line or "straight"
version.

At the same time, I recognize that others' needs differ.
