Would you settle for a Mac binary of a 0.9.5 pre-release? From the README file:
- dictionary objects can now be compared properly; e.g., {}=={} is true
- '==' is now the only equality operator; see demo/scripts/eqfix.py
for a script that fixes old Python modules
- new exception SystemExit causes termination if not caught;
it is raised by sys.exit() so that 'finally' clauses can clean up,
and it may even be caught. It does work interactively!
- new module "regex" interfaces to GNU Emacs regular expression;
module "regexp" rewritten in Python for backward compatibility
- formal parameter lists may contain trailing commas
I'll release the sources for 0.9.5 soon (still no up-to-date manual, but I'm
working on it) so I think you'll be better off with a Mac version of that
release anyway.
