Hi Martin, >From PEP-345,
> Requires-Dist: foo (1,!=1.3); platform.machine == 'i386' I'd like to point to the following quote from http://www.apple.com/intel/ "Now every new Mac ships with an Intel processor. Experience delightful responsiveness from the smallest Mac mini to the most beefed-up Mac Pro. Use one of more than 7,000 universal applications that take full advantage of the Intel chip. Run programs from your PowerPC-based Mac in translation. Powered by Intel chips, your new Mac will do all those things that only Macs can do and do so at an astonishing level of performance." So the test would be true for some macs but not all, depending on how old the mac is. Depending on whether the python implementation is properly working or not. I'll just make the point that it is going to be really difficult for windows users to follow the hardware differences that exist in the mac world. Obviously, some macs have intel processors and some don't. How would a developer reasonably be expected to know which are which? and what difference does it make? This information needs to be covered in the PEP for it to make it make more sense to mr.average developer. At the moment it is somewhat confusing.
