Interesting! Cool! I should look at the header file in the System Python...I had to patch the Python.h in the standard Python distribution to have the "ifdef 64-bit" conditional code, so that the single header file workswith both 32- and 64-bit. NOTE that the patches I used in the modified MacPorts came from Apple: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.2/python-30.1.2/
I'll probably commit a patch that enables 4-way universal builds for Python 2.6 on Leopard later this week. That patch is more involved than just patching a header file, I've also enabled building most of the Carbon bindings in 64-bit mode (by disabling everything that isn't supported in 64-bit mode).
The patch should be complete by now, I just have to do some more testing before I commit.

I compiled a quick 64bit python executable as a companion to the system's Python like so: gcc -arch x86_64 -arch ppc64 -I/System/Library/Frameworks/ Python.framework/Headers -lpython2.5 -o python64 Modules/python.c Tested OK with gdal-python. sys.maxint gives the 64bit value.----- William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ First Pogril: Why is life like sticking your head in a bucket filled with hyena offal?Second Pogril: I don't know.
