Hi Jason,

I believe a number of people have got it working from CVS and that's the 
simplest approach at the moment. The existing AGTk installer package is 
built with Python 2.3, so doesn't work with OSX 10.5's Python 2.4.

The main issue with the packaging is that OSX 10.5 is now effectively 4 
Python platforms; PPC & Intel in 32bit and 64bit versions (unlike OSX 10.4 
which was only 32bit), so would require 4 installer packages. A possible 
workaround would be to bundle a 32bit Python interpreter which could work 
with older OSX versions and on 64bit. With a fair bit more work, the 
installer package could be made into Fat Binaries so that it would work on 
both Intel and PPC.
