I don't think that's true. 2.6.x are compatible with each other iif they are built with the same compiler options. There are too many differences between Apple python and the python.org python (dtrace, 64 bits support, compiler options, etc...) IMHO to make a compatible installer for both versions worthwhile. >> way he's done it is to put wxPython itself into /usr/local, and then >> put >> some *.pth trickery into both of the pythons: /System/... and / >> Library/... >> >> It works fine, and I've suggested it on this list before, but I guess >> folks think it's too much of a hack -- or just no one has taken the >> time >> to do it. I don't think it worths it. .pth files will involve even more point of failures, and it has the potential of breaking things in non obvious ways. I agree that the lack of 64 bits installer is an issue, but building numpy on mac os x is not that difficult, and I think people who need 64 bits often are more knowledgeable. There are also solutions like EPD and the likes, which support 64 bits.
