Which would be easier if not Codewarrior ($$$) but MPW was used for
building MacPython. Last time I enquired there actually was a reason
for that concerning some library (cant search my mail archives right now).

Nevertheless it greatly reduces the number of people able to help (e.g., me).

Not running Python/Tkinter apps properly straight out of the box is sad, and
just one more argument for the "Macs suck" crowd.

While I am at it. Could MacPython just please read Unix text files instead
of insisting on the silly conversion to the MacOs conventions. The Python
on my Windooze box can do it, so it can not be that hard ;)

Yours,
Alexander
