I tried but I can't get the environment variable to have any effect on the self-built python.org version. robin-mbp:bin robince$ pwd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin robin-mbp:bin robince$ export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes robin-mbp:bin robince$ ./python2.6 -c "import sys; print sys.maxint" 9223372036854775807 robin-mbp:~ robince$ /usr/bin/python -c "import sys; print sys.maxint" 2147483647 robin-mbp:bin robince$ export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=1 robin-mbp:bin robince$ ./python2.6 -c "import sys; print sys.maxint" 9223372036854775807 So I'm still stuck...
