Apparently the Mac Python 2.6.1 Installer image does not include 64- bit binaries. Is this going to change? Is there some technical reason why these are not included? We are hoping to support that in our next 64-bit release.
The 2.6 installer image does not include 64-bit binaries. As of this week the script that creates the installer can build an installer that does support 64-bit code as well, but that only works on Leopard systems.
I'm thinking about how to distribute binaries that support 64-bit code without unduly complicating the world. The easiest option for me would be to have two installers: one 32-bit only that supports OSX 10.3.9 and later and a 4-way universal one that supports OSX Leopard and later. It might be possible to have a single installer that supports 64-bit code on Leopard but is usable on 10.3.9 as well, but I haven't checked yet how much that would complicate the build.
