Apple's python on Leopard doesn't build universal binaries by default. I've filed a bugreport for this, hopefully it will be fixed in the future. In the meantime you can edit os.path.join(sys.prefix, "lib/python2.5/ config/Makefile") and add "-arch ppc -arch x86" to the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS definitions. BTW. "file myext.so" will tell you if an extension is universal and which architectures it supports. Ronald > > > -- > Robin Dunn > Software Craftsman > http://wxPython.org Java give you jitters?
