See the thread starting at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac- sig/2009-December/021907.html for full details. It appears two vestigial gif files included in the 2.6.4 OS installer are being installed under corrupted file names by the OS X Installer.app under 10.3 and 10.4. While the error is silently ignored on 10.4, it apparently causes the whole install to fail on 10.3. The problem does not seem to occur when installing on 10.5 or 10.6. It is also not limited to that installer image: I was able to reproduce the problem with an installer I built on 10.5. However, an installer built on 10.4 from the same source snapshot seems to have the correct file names. Without knowing exactly why those two file names, and only those two, are corrupted, it seems risky to let this seemingly minor problem go unresolved. And it apparently prevents 2.6.4 from being installed on 10.3, a more serious problem. |

The problem shouldn't be present in 3.1 and 2.7, both trees no longer contain the ancient documentation files. IMHO the best fix is to remove Mac/Resources/app/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/ide/ (and the link to ide/index.html in .../Documentation/index.html). Is anyone on the nosy list capable of testing such a patch? I can provide a 2.6.4+ installer with this fix, but cannot test the fix myself because I don't have access to a machine that's capable of running 10.3. |

This should be fixed in r76715, I've removed the documentation that caused the installer issues in the first place. |

I've built an installer image to test this consisting of 2.6.4 plus r76715. If you're still willing to test this on 10.3, I'll contact you via email with the download details. |

I would be happy to test the new package for you. I am running 10.3.9 and Had attempted to install 2.6.4 recently without realizing it, so my terminal version is 2.6.4 but idle and back at 2.5. email me if you want me to test it for you. |
