It's not entirely clear if the "2.5 installer" you mention above means PyObjC or Python. If the former, I tried it (using the Python 2.5 installer here: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5/python-2.5b1-macosx2006-06-20.dmg) and it isn't working. I built it on an Intel Mac Mini, and when I run it on 10.3.9 I see this: """ 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Volumes/MyAppDisk/MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 4, in <module> _chdir_resource() File "/Volumes/MyAppDisk/MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 2, in _chdir_resource import os zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available """ If you need me to build Python 2.5, I'll go back and try that.
