And one of the reasons may be that it is very complicated in practice, with all the possible variations of OSX versions, Xcode versions, processor architectures, and styles of build for python itself and various libraries.

_backend_gdk.c and nxutils.c both call into the numpy C API; maybe some c++ code does also. It is not entirely clear to me whether 1.1 is sufficiently binary-compatible that this is safe. > There are essentially two options: > > 1) built it just for yourself -- I think the instructions John H. posted > are pretty easy to follow. That's the way they look, but having watched someone try it, I can testify that looks are deceptive. I would say that with 95% probability, if Tommy tried to follow John's instructions, he would not succeed.
