If you intend to only provide a 64-bit-only version of your app, that will, of course, exclude a significant portion of 10.5 and 10.6 users, i.e. those with earlier 32-bit-only Intel processors and (for 10.5) PPC users. And that's the main reason why such a configuration isn't provided on python.org. The 32-bit-only Pythons provided there will run on all Macs that run 10.3.9 through 10.6. If you do need 64-bit, it is possible to build a 10-5+ universal version. I'd suggest looking at the Mac/BuildScript README.txt and build-installer.py script in the Python source tree. The relevant option to the installer script is --universal-archs. The current top of trunk for 2.7.x is here (and these files are more up-to-date than the 2.7.1 released versions): http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/76a2354aa427/Mac/BuildScript You'd have to tweak the script a bit to get *just* 64-bit Intel, if you need that. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
