Caveats
-------
There are still problems with cfm68k Python. 68K Mac users should
probably try to use the cfm68k distribution first, and revert to the
classic 68k distribution in case the bugs make their Python
unworkable. The main problem is that packages ("dotted import") and
NumPy printing don't work.
This is an alfa version, and for this once it really means that: there
are quite a few features that have only lightly been tested, and bugs are
to be expected.
Aside from the general Python 1.6 features like unicode support the
main new features of this MacPython release is support for multithreading.
This has not been tested very well.
This installer installs MacPython for PowerPC only, whether a 68K distribution
of Python 1.6 will happen is not certain at the moment. There is no Tkinter
in this installer.
All references to 68k, cfm68k and Tkinter in this document and in the
installer should be ignored: it really isn't there.
