Mac OSX 10.2, released late August.  Notable for updating the underlying bsd 
layer to the latest FreeBSD 4.x line, shipping with quite a few more open 
source tools (like python, ruby, and bash), and lots and lots of performance 
enhancements and bug fixes.

As you didn't know, I take that to mean you haven't tried it yet, in which 
case, here I am! :-)  I'm currently in 1/2-time school, more-than-full-time 
work, with 3 1/2 kids and 3 other OS projects I'm working on (kmamerun, kde 
studio, and kpilot), so I don't have oodles and oodles of extra time. 
However, if you give me step-by-step instructions on how to test if pyqt 
works (is it a compile problem? runtime?), I *will* get it done.
