I downloaded this yesterday and tried to run the installer -- it refuses to install on anything less than 10.3. I did search the Python site, the wiki, pythonmac.org, and this mailing list's archives for 5-6 hours yesterday before breaking down and posting.

I was really hoping not to have to rebuild all of Python (which I've never yet done) (1) but I have built fairly complex projects with many targets and dependencies before, so I can probably handle it. Oh well ... (2) Thanks again! Anthony Kozar mailing-lists-1001 AT anthonykozar DOT net http://anthonykozar.net/ (1) Another reason that I am hesitant to roll my own Python is that I also sometimes build Csound packages for distribution, an open-source project with its own Python extensions. We have enough trouble with providing binary distributions on OS X that match pre-compiled versions of Python. (2) (From what I've read it looks like the latest versions of Python and Tcl/Tk can be compiled on 10.2 too -- makes me wonder why the packagers don't use the 10.2 SDK when compiling ...) _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
