Sorry for not telling you earlier, but all the Mac stuff (the unix-Mac-stuff, that is) has been ready since last night. MacPython-OS9 will take another week (or more), so I'd like to get control of the release branch again after the unix/win release has been done.

The main bit of Mac news is that all the old MacPython tools and modules now work (if you do a framework build). I plan to do a binary release later (not for a1, probably starting with the beta's) and that will be called MacPython-OSX or MacPython for short (MacPython-OS9 will be the new name for the old MacPython).
