I'm in the same boat.  I've asked the question multiple times, in multiple 
ways, including in the entry in bugzilla.

I have yet to receive a single positive response.


What I have managed to do is to retrofit Python 2.3 onto my PowerMac G5 
running Mac OS X 10.5.2, and then go in and hand-edit all the AG programs to 
point their path for Python over to /usr/local/bin/python instead of 
/bin/python, and that seems to have kinda-semi-sorta worked.  I can launch 
AG, and while I don't know anything about it or how to navigate around, my 
only problem seems to be that I can't get audio working.

I would much prefer to run all this on top of the Apple-provided version of 
Python 2.5, however.


We've got ~50,000 students and ~20,000 faculty and staff that are going to 
be given an Enterprise solution for video conferencing soon, and I'd hate to 
have AG get knocked out of even being considered simply because it cannot 
run on the latest version of one of the main client platforms.
