The reason you needed to delete the build folder was that setup didn't know that python had changed and, since nothing else had changed either, it just copied over the old build. > It might be useful to have a repository of 64-bit builds and/or build > instructions. > We should probably put mabshoff's instructions for building 64-bit python on the MAC somewhere in the wiki.
