The problem is the process that creates a new release with a 404 link to the Mac installer with no explanation. The 2.6.5 release (as always) caused several requests to webmaster from Mac users unable to download Python - which is a further waste of volunteer time as well as a cause of frustration for users.

As the RM, that's my fault then. When I start creating the page for a new release I will leave the Windows and Mac links commented out. I do (now ) wait for Martin to upload the Windows installers before announcing the release, but generally don't wait for Ronald to produce the Mac images, so I leave those commented out too. When Ronald builds the Mac image and provides it to me, I'll upload them and tweak the page.
