Hello. I'm a Python newbie having problems trying to install galaxy on a Mac (PPC) running OSX 10.5.8 and Python 2.5.1.
Do I need to upgrade my Python or OSX version?
If not, below are the gory details for anyone who wants to help.

I've been through this several times and loaded various packages manually, and it all seems to come down to numpy 1.3.0 and bx-python 0.5.0. I installed more recent versions of these myself (numpy 1.4.1 and bx-python 0.6.0), and verified that they were installed correctly, but Galaxy seems to want specific versions that are not the current versions. I found a binary of numpy 1.3.0 but the installer would not let me install it on the grounds that it requires "System Python 2.5", which is confusing because thats what I thought I had. I haven't found bx-python 0.5.0 anywhere though I suppose I could just build an old release from the source repository.
