[PD] pyext and pd on mac os x

[marius schebella]

I think it is quite easy to upgrade python on a 10.4 system, at least 
much easier than to get pd sources, max sdk, flext, python source, 
compile everything... the problem right now is, that even with python 
upgrade to 2.5.5 you get error messages with py/pyext.
