From the Python Dev mailing list:
...At EuroPython I was cornered by the key Macpython developers with exciting news: Apple's next release of Mac OSX, code-named Panther, uses Python and Apple is planning to include Python 2.3 in that release. (Apple already ships Mac OSX with Python 2.2 included in the developer tools, but Panther will actually use Python for some essential functionality.)

Apple's schedule is such that August 1st is about the latest release date for Python 2.3 that will make this possible. I appreciate everybody's help with keeping this schedule!

I wonder what "essential functionality" refers to?

He says this later in response to a similar question: "All I know is that it has to do with PDF generation workflow."
