I particularly don't have a mac to test the installer there, so I
can't do much. So if you know how to fix it would be very nice to
submit the patch to the bug tracker, because apparently issue4017
stopped progressing. But if you don't, you could try raising this
question on python-dev because this is surely annoying.
