[Pythonmac-SIG] Problem with PackageManager

[Andrae Muys]

I've been banging my head against this for a couple of weeks now and 
haven't had any success.  I have installed MacPython-2.3, on an iBook 
running MacOSX 10.2.6.  However everytime I try to run the 
PackageManager I get the same error:

"Unspecified error while parsing database: 
http://www.python.org/packman/version-0.3/darwin-6.6-Power_Macintosh.plist
Usually, this means the database is not correctly formatted.

See MacPython Package Manager help page."

Which isn't all that useful.  I have tried reinstalling MacPython 
numerous times.  I have tried downloading the .plist file manually and 
pointing PackageManager at the file using OpenURL.  I have checked the 
.plist file in vim to ensure it looks sane.

All attempts result in the same error.  I am hoping someone can suggest 
what the problem might be.

   "Now, allowing captured continuations to be inspected and altered at
    runtime (including binding mutation, complete rebinding of scopes,
    and call tree mutation)...  *that* is really evil.  And, I should
    point out, quite useful."        - Dan Sugalski
