It looks like distutils.util.get_platform() now does the right thing
for knowing what the currently running pyton is (see Ronald's message)
For determining the status of a newly compiled extension, I usually
simple run the "file" command line utility on it:
$ file python
python: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
python (for architecture ppc): Mach-O executable ppc
python (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
(works for *.so, too...)
that could easily be parsed out, but we would still want to know the
deployment target, which maybe you could get by parsing otool output:
$ otool -L python
python (architecture ppc):
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python
(compatibility version 2.7.0, current version 2.7.0)
/usr/lib/libmx.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
47.1.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 88.3.10)
python (architecture i386):
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python
(compatibility version 2.7.0, current version 2.7.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 88.3.10)
(compatibility version of libSystem???)
But I imagine there is a cleaner way -- Ronald??
