Folks,
a MacPython 2.3.5 release for MacOSX 10.2 (also works on 10.3) is available for testing. Please download it from <http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/beta.html> and send feedback (preferably to the mailing list) telling me whether it works.
I'm quite convinced this is going to be the final installer, but before I publicly announce it I'd like a couple of positive replies. Also, the PackMan database for 10.2 isn't as complete as I'd like yet, that'll be done in the next few days.
Why not ship it with the fix for 10.3? Maybe in a folder called "INSTALL THIS FIRST IF USING MAC OS X 10.3"? :)
I tried it out on 10.3 and it works great (at runtime). It will import extensions I've built for the 10.3 Python (since I built them with the fix), and py2app embeds this Python quite happily.
I have not tried it yet on 10.2, nor have I tried it with a 2.4 framework also installed.
When building extensions, it won't let me use MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET at all:
% env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 /usr/local/bin/python setup.py build
....
error: $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET mismatch: now "10.3" but "" during configure
% env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.2 /usr/local/bin/python setup.py build
....
error: $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET mismatch: now "10.2" but "" during configure
% env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="" /usr/local/bin/python setup.py build (succeeds)
This isn't the biggest deal in the world, but it forces the compiler and linker to default to 10.1 semantics -- when in reality anything I build will be compatible with 10.2 at best.
