That is correct, thank you Darren.
Actually *we* are working on it. And, honestly, I didn't and won't do
much on the linux version because I'm already too busy with the
Windows distribution (especially with the forthcoming 2.0 release):
one of my colleague is working on it. After a lot of public
(http://groups.google.com/group/pythonxy/browse_thread/thread/e5c707a1ac8bd4a4)
and private discussions on this, we have decided to distribute the
linux version as a metapackage. The first public release will
hopefully be available before the end of summer.
