I'm not sure who normally creates the Mac distribution, perhaps Ronald Ousorren? It would appear that either Ronald (or whoever) has been unavailable or there was no coordination between the Mac and non-Mac folks involved in the release.

I'm willing to give it a whirl (I have both a MacBook Pro and a PowerMac G5 at home - both running Max OSX 10.5.x (Leopard)) though I will almost certainly need a cheat sheet for the process. I normally treat my Macs as Unix boxes from a Python perspective so don't make framework builds.
