Hi, I'd love to see this happen with Mac too, but I don't 
have a mac to play with. Suppose you have 

1. Python 2.5 with distutil, 
2. GLPK, 

installed, try to download the source code of pyglpk from 
pymprog.sf.net resource, and run the setup.py there:

python setup.py build

If that compiles, then you should run

python setup.py install

to have pyglpk installed. Installing pymprog
should be no problem, as it is pure python.

Hope this works, if you did try it, I'd appreciate
if you could let me know how it goes.

regards,

Yingjie
