Peter,

I'm not *the* maintainer, although I do have CVS commit privileges.

PythonCard is an open source project so anyone can contribute code, 
documentation, or sample applications. Providing your contribution 
doesn't break anything it is likely to be accepted into PythonCard.

I'm currently (very slowly) looking at some of the issues that have come 
up in this thread but haven't begun to address the installation 
'features' that occur with the binary package of PythonCard under Python 
2.4 on Windows - mainly because I don't have a development machine 
running Windows. As previously stated installing the source distribution 
doesn't (as far as I know) have any problems and this is the recommended 
work around for now.

I suspect to stop the post installation errors that people are seeing 
all we need to do is build a binary distribution using Python 2.4 (as 
well as Python 2.3) for the next release. Ideally I would like to have 
some independent verification that this is the case and that no other 
action needs to be taken. To that end I am happy to provide help and 
advice to anyone else who wants to investigate this further this before 
I get round to it - which may be some time.


Regards,
Andy
