x86_64 is multiarch. That means, we allow both i386 and x86_64 binaries to coexits. Is the proposal that python should not support this? That would be unfortunate. I suspect is would not be that difficult to correctly support multiarch platforms. As it is, this usually works - but the example I gave above shows where it seems to break. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
