New submission from Zooko O'Whielacronx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: There was a time, last November, when, if I understand it correctly, setuptools on the standard Python that comes with Mac OS X wouldn't accept fat eggs for Mac OS X 10.4 or higher.
Here is the pythonmac-sig discussion: http://www.nabble.com/does-pkg_resources-think-that-%22macosx-10.3%22-is-incompatible-with-10.5--to13865060.html#a13865060 Ronald Oussoren has committed the fix for the comparison of Mac OS X version numbers from '<' to '>=', so as of Python 2.5.2 that problem is fixed. However, he mentioned other problems which I didn't understand: """the config/Makefile in Apple's Python.framework isn't configured for building universal binaries. And to make matters even worse: I'm pretty sure that setuptools used to know that 'fat' builds are compatible with 'i386' and 'ppc' architectures (at least on OSX), but that code no longer seems to be there.
