Folks: It appears that eggs built on Mac OS 10.4 are produced with filenames containing "macosx-10.3", like this:
http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.5/s/simplejson/simplejson-1.7.3- py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg but that if you try to easy_install such a package on Mac OS 10.5, it will deem that egg to be incompatible with the current platform and will instead try to install from a source tarball if it can find one. (On the other hand if you install that egg on Mac OS 10.4, it will work.) PJE reports that the platform versioning code for OS X was contributed by someone other than he to pkg_resources, and that he doesn't know how it works, except that it reads /usr/bin/sw_vers. Does anyone know if there is a good reason for Python running on 10.5 to reject binaries built on 10.4, and if not what would be required to make this version check pass? Here is a ticket on the allmydata.org tahoe project about this issue: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/212 (Tahoe is a new distributed, cryptographically protected filesystem. It's super cool. Check it out.) Thanks! Regards, Zooko _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
