Just wondering: is it a good idea in the first place to create a universal 32/64 bit Python on MacOSX?
On MacOS you don't pay a penalty or anything for running in 32-bit mode on any current hardware, so the choice of whether to use 32 or 64 bits really depends on the application. A single Python interpreter that can run in both 32 and 64 bit mode would possibly make this more difficult rather than easier. I think I'd prefer a situation where we have python32 and python64 (with both being ppc/ intel fat) and python being a symlink to either, at the end-users' discretion. For extension modules it's different, though: there it would be nice to be able to have a single module that could load into any Python (32/64 bit, Intel/PPC) on any applicable MacOSX version. -- Jack Jansen, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman _______________________________________________ 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
