You can use native extensions with the universal build, but you cannot use PPC extensions on Intel. To answer you're question: you're going to need a universal or Intel build of wxPython to create wx gui's on an intel mac. Rosetta is quite good, but it cannot be used to emulate just part of an application. > > 2.

You might be able to get away with rebuilding the application launcher in py2app, but there's no guarantee that this will work. > > 3.
