(Is it OK to ask about Apple's Leopard Python 2.5?)

I'm a little confused about the 64bit-ness of Apple's Python 2.5.  I
see that the framework is, but the python executable is only universal
32bit.  The modules (lib/python2.5/lib-dynload) and extras are a mix
of 64bit and non-64bit, I presume because some depend on Carbon, which
is not 64bit).

When I build a package with setup.py, it always seems to build
universal non-64bit, even though I've checked that the extras that it
depends on (numpy) are 64bit-capable.

Is there a way to get setup.py to build 64bit?  I'm just building a
package from source, and don't really know much about developing
python extensions.

As you've noticed the actual framework is 64bit but the commandline tools are not. It should be easy enough to add 64-bit command-line tools as well, but even then you'll have to add extra arguments to build 64-bit extensions (as Boyd mentions).
