We also get to ignore the issues of which version of Mac OS X they are using because 10.3 and 10.4 will behave the same.Um, aren't there issues with not being able to use the universal version with less than 10.3.9, and not being able to build extensions on 10.3 at all with the universal version?The universal version is indeed not compatible with 10.3.0-10.3.8, but upgrading to 10.3.9 is free. I think it's safe at this point to say 10.3.9 is absolutely required to use the supported version of Python.
Unless someone volunteers to do the required work to support earlier versions of the OS. I don't mind requireing at least 10.3.9.
The extension thing we can hack around by installing two copies of the Makefile and having distutils pick a PPC-only Makefile if it detects 10.3.
I was thinking more along the line of hacking distutils to detect that it is running on 10.3 and then removing 10.4+ specific flags (all -arch flags and the -isysroot thingy) from CFLAGS. Ronald
