I use a Python library called Skype4Py that appears to work only
in 32-bit environments, probably because Skype for Mac is a 32-bit
application.  This worked fine on Leopard, but when I upgraded to
Snow Leopard, the stock Python installation became a 64-bit one
apparently.  I could still run my utility using a 32-bit Python
port, but then my ports started going to pieces because I didn't
rebuild them all, as one is supposed to do.  I then rebuilt them
all, and my Python became a 64-bit version there as well.

So now I can't run my utility at all, because Skype4Py causes a
Segmentation Violation pretty quick.

So the question:  How do I deliberately build a 32-bit version of
Python on here?  I see no variant for it in the Python MacPort, unless
"universal" does that.

In case it helps, I know Skype4Py uses Carbon for its Skype API
connection.  I should have the right Carbon (I installed it from
the Snow Leopard CD), though I forget the version number at the
moment.

Thanks much for any help.
