[Pythonmac-SIG] ANN: ActivePython 2.4.1 build 247 for Mac OS X

[Trent Mick]

ActivePython 2.4.1 build 247 for Mac OS X is now available for free
download from:

     http://www.ActiveState.com/Products/ActivePython/

This release includes important updates to build 246. In particular:
- ActivePython and py2app will now play nicely together. Previously
  py2app failed looking for version.plist in ActivePython's framework
  install.
- ActivePython's license was clarified to specify that usage of
  ActivePython with wrapping tools such as py2app and py2exe are
  allowed.

Please see the release notes for details:
