It's nice to have an installer, but why does the OS X one depend on a  
3rd-party Python distro when Mac OS X already ships with Python* pre- 
installed? It would really simplify things if the installer put the  
files into /Library/Python. Then people wanting to use Mercurial  
wouldn't need to install a separate package first, and wouldn't end up  
with two different versions of Python on their computers.

* OS X 10.4 (Tiger) ships with Python 2.3.x for some value of x (not  
sure anymore which it was), and 10.5 (Leopard) ships with Python 2.5.1.
