Some packages when built on Mac OS X 10.4 will work on 10.3. This is more likely if you're using gcc 3.3 (sudo gcc_switch 3.3 before building) rather than the default 4.0. However, the only way to know is to do it and see if it works. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
