What is not in this distribution

no clue as to what is causing this.
- PythonInterpreter used interactively will eat a lot of processor cycles. You should use
PythonIDE for interactive work and PythonInterpreter for scripts only.
- Under MacOSX applets have to live in the Python folder, otherwise they cannot find
PythonCore. This is being worked on.
- Under MacOSX Public Beta ConfigurePython cannot put PythonCore in the global CFMSupport
folder. Therefore applets have to live in the Python folder, otherwise they cannot find
PythonCore. There is a workaround if you want to have an applet in a different folder:
put an alias PythonCoreCarbon (pointing to the PythonCoreCarbon in the Python folder)
in the same folder as your applet.
This problem should in all probability not occur in the release version of MacOSX.
