Ronald,

I think I speak for everyone on the list when I say we appreciate the 
work you do. The work you do as Python maintainer is invaluable.

Unfortunately, the amount of time I spend on Tk development makes it 
hard for me to find time to contribute to MacPython development, unless 
I'm scratching my own itch. Toward that end, I probably will set up a 
bundlebuilder project at PyPi once I move to Python 3 (I have found I 
prefer bundlebuilder's simplicity to py2app). As you know, I've also 
filed patches on IDLE to make it lay nicer on Tk-Cocoa.

Again, thanks for the work you do. Thanks also to Ned Deilly for his 
contributions, bug reports, patches, etc.
