iPython bug?

[Noah Gift]

I was right.  In new versions of OS X other than 10.4 it ships with a
broken python 2.5.1:

Specifically:  r251:54863,

It needs be:

r251:54869,

It is a bit of a PITA to fix your OS X python as we unfortunately
don't have apt-get :)  OS X could learn much from Ubuntu on this.

Anyway everything works fine.  The Mac Python installer won't work
either as it doesn't know about the new version of OS X.  I will send
a bug report to Apple and Mac Python.

All good now....
