make a release

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

could you please make a release and add the tarball to the downloads
section? I'll then create a Debian package and get it to Debian/Ubuntu, so
that it becomes the de facto standard.

Currently there is a python-processing package, but the problem is that it
has a different interface. So if people want to use multiprocessing, but
are still stuck with python2.4 or 2.5, the only option is this backport --
so let's get it into distributions.

Thanks,
Ondrej

I'm having trouble getting this to build on ubuntu 8.04, so when I saw this 
message I
was filled with such joy. 
I was a bit disappointed to see only a windows build.

my build error is:

I've been looking for Python.h. I can't find it?! It's not in 
/usr/lib/python2.5 or
/usr/include/python2.5

What??
