That's correct, they require OSX 10.3.9 or later. There are two major
reasons for that: first of all building universal binaries that
support OSX 10.2 is much more involved than limiting support to
10.3.9 and later, and furthermore I don't have hardware that's capable
of running 10.2 and therefore could not even test such a build if I
did create it.
You might have success in building a framework for OSX 10.2 from
source. I don't think anyone has tried to do that for a while, but I
see no reason why that shouldn't work (or could be made to work).
Full disclosure: I build the python installers for OSX on
www.python.org.
So I am wondering what my options are now for cross-platform GUI
development
with Python on 10.2? Can I get Tkinter installed somehow? Would
wxPython
work better? I am hoping for a solution that will be reliable and
easily
installed on Windows, Linux, and OS X.
I'd drop support for 10.2. OSX 10.2 is very ancient and Xcode
doesn't even ship with an 10.2 SDK these days
