I can boot into 10.3 if necessary. How does one build the "unofficial offical" Python installer? I suppose by running the 'build' script in Mac/OSX/Dist. Do I need to install other software before trying to build the installer? Waste springs to mind, BerkeleyDB is another one. > > The problem is that my G4 with 10.3 still on it is sitting in storage > and I don't plan on getting it out any time soon. > > I could try and build something with the SDK, but that's hard, I > wouldn't be able to test it, and I don't have a lot of time for > Python stuff right now. I'd guess that building against an SDK will be hard. I'll probably look into doing it for PyObjC in the future, as a method for building a single binary distribution of PyObjC that works on as much OS versions as possible while giving full access all features in the frameworks. > > I don't want to deal with having a 10.4 specific version of Python > out there (when there's no good reason to have one), so that's not > really an option I'm going to explore. Is there any advantage of building on 10.4? The only possible advantage I can come up with is support for new APIs in core library, although I wouldn't know a specific example.
