Ned- No need to apologize; I realize the Python developers are juggling many balls right now! But I'll apologize---for always replying in a way that starts yet another thread. I reply to emails or web archive versions of the posts, and as far as I can tell, there is no way to respond in a mann

Hi folks, I've been attempting to install a 32-bit version of Python-2.6.4 on Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I'd like to install it from source (a 32-bit binary built for 10.3+ is at Python.org). Unfortunately, I haven't yet figured out a way to get an accessible 32-bit interpreter built on Snow Leopard.
