MacPython works fine on Mac OS X 10.1, except for one showstopper bug. I am filing this bug report so that we have all relevant information together in case someone feels like fixing it.

The problem is that our applets use a python script as their executable, with a #! first line pointing to Python. This works in 10.1 when run from the command line, but not when double-clicked from the finder.

A discussion on this can be found in the pythonmac-sig archives for Feb-2003, start with message <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2003-February/007328.html>.

With no applet support we have no IDE and no Package Manager, so there is little point in doing a binary installer unless someone fixes this.
