Hi all,

In the process of putting py-appscript 0.19.0 eggs onto PyPI and noticed that the installer-based Python 2.6 distribution off python.org, like the Python 2.5 that ships with Leopard, seems to build eggs as universal but marks their filenames as i386/ppc. Questions:

- Anyone know why it's doing this? (The Python 2.5 distro from python.org correctly labeled eggs as fat.)

- I've uploaded an 'i386' egg for 2.6, but am still futzing around trying to do a 'ppc' one on the assumption that python.org's Python 2.6 on a PPC box will be looking for 'ppc' in the egg's filename rather than 'fat'. Anyone with Python 2.6 + easy_install on a G4/G5 want to try 'easy_install appscript' and see what it does? (BTW, if you email me the resulting .egg off-list I'll bung it onto PyPI.)

- Anyone know if I can just change 'i386' in the egg's filename to 'ppc', or does it really have to be built under a PPC process? (I can probably build a ppc-only python2.6 interpreter for running on my Intel box, but it won't be tonight.)

Thanks,

has

p.s. Happy py-appscript beta release day. I'll put out a proper announcement sometime in the next few days, and I'll also get separate file releases of py-aemreceive and py-osaterminology out shortly as they're no longer included in the py-appscript distribution.
