There's no need for two separate executables; Mach-O files can contain 1-4 architectures (or more, potentially for CPU specific variants). You can use the 'arch' command in Leopard to choose whether you want to execute the 64-bit or 32-bit version of an executable (a bit like isaexec on Solaris). > When I build extension models do I then need to build/install each > module twice e.g. 'python setup.py install' and 'python64 setup.py > install'?

That's up to how Ronald modifies distutils I guess. Unfortunately there are lots of places where code makes assumptions that it's building for a single architecture, so short of for example running the setup script once for each architecture and merging the build products it would be difficult to find a fully general solution. -- Nicholas Riley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | <http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/njriley> _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
