Well, I appreciate the effort. > Therefore I am interested in any input or advice you have. > > So what exacty do you think should be done? Ideally, I think the Mac numpy binaries should match the python.org python binaries: Python 2.5: 32-bit PPC/i386 for Mac OS X 10.3.9 through 10.6 Python 2.6: 32-bit PPC/i386 for Mac OS X 10.3.9 through 10.6 Python 2.7 32-bit PPC/i386 for Mac OS X 10.3.9 through 10.6 Python 2.7 PPC/i386/x86-64 for Mac OS X 10.5 or later Python 3 ??? (similar I think) Supporting 10.3.9 may be a bit much these days, so it's probably easiest to build on a 10.4 machine, except for the 2.7 64bit build on 10.5. In theory, it should all be buildable on 10.6, but I know I've struggled with doing that sort of thing -- but maybe the macpython folks could help. In the past, numpy builds have "just worked", so maybe it's as simple as finding a 10.4 machine to build on (I don't have one anymore, we're not allowed to have them on our network, since Apple stopped supplying security patches) Thanks, -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
