I have the latest Mac Pro with 10.5.3. I ran the sys.maxint test

I had a quick look and it seems that the main Python library in the
standard Apple framework is 4-way fat including both ppc64 and
x86_64. However, the python executable is only 32 bit. So if you use
the library through that it will be in 32 bit mode.
I would have thought it was not too hard to build a 64 bit python
executable against the installed library. It is just a command
interpreter.
