Actually, "10.3 through 10.6" is intentional. If you need to build extension modules, the current 3.2.3 and 2.7.3 32-bit python.org Pythons do not work well with Xcode 4, the default for OS X 10.7 and 10.8 and optional for 10.6. The upcoming Python 3.3 release has much better support for Xcode 4 so that it is practical to use the 32-bit-only Python to build extension modules on newer releases. Some of that support will be backported for upcoming 2.7.x and 3.2.x releases. BTW, for Python 3.3, the 32-bit-only installer Python supports 10.5+ systems (i386 and ppc). More details on all of this forthcoming. -- 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
