I'm (still) trying to make a neatly packaged Python app that works on both PPC and Intel Macs. All is good except for mysqldb; following the procedure I've documented at <http://www.dotancohen.com/howto/python-app-mac.html>, my app bundle contains an Intel-only binary of the mysqldb library (libmysqlclient_r.16.dylib).

This page (http://developer.apple.com/opensource/buildingopensourceuniversal.html) at Apple suggests a possible solution: build separate Intel and PPC binaries, and then combine them with lipo. But of course that's using Makefiles. MySQLdb instead uses setuptools.

So: does anyone have a clue how I can convince setuptools to build a PPC binary (or better yet, a Universal one) on an Intel machine?

This may or may not also be involved:
  <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue19>

Any advice will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
- Joe
