I'm wondering how to coordinate having python executables in 32 and 64 bit mode on the same machine. Will the patched python 2.6 build a python and a python64?
I currently build 3 variants: python-32, python-64 and python-all, with python being an alias for python-32.
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'?
No, there is only one tree were all executable files are 4-way universal. If you need to run distutils twice you might as well install two copies of python.
Distutils will always build 4-way universal extensions unless explictly told otherwise (by and environment variable or explicit '- arch' flags in the Extension definition).
Could I help this effort out by starting to work with your branch of python 2.6? I've been building a non-framework, non-universal build of python to work in 64 bit but it would be nice to take advantage of the universal build stuff as well as use some gui tools in 64 bit.
I don't have branch for this, I just have a checkout of python's subversion tree with my patches applied to that. I will try to commit tomorrow, and will post instructions on how to build the framework afterwards.
