Hi, I am new on Mac platform, have some patience with me.
Leopard Intel 10.5.5 XCode 3.1.4 I am using Mac to port a python application developed on Linux and finally create a deployment package. On linux, app is using python 2.6.6 and wxpython 2.8.10.1. On Mac 10.5.5 default python is 2.5.1 and wxPython is 2.8.4.x. Q. How do I install python 2.6.6 on Mac? There is a build available on python.org.(python-2.6.6-macosx10.3.dmg). Is it OK if I download and install the .dmg file directly? Is it going to make 2.6.6 default one automatically or there are some post installation settings required? Q. I don't know if it's a universal build (python-2.6.6-macosx10.3.dmg) or not. As per py2app docs, make sure that you use a universal build of python to make your app compatible for PPC and Intel. If above mentioned version is not universal then how do I get a universal build of python? Do I have to compile on Mac? If above is solved then installing wxpython is straight forward and build is compatible for both (ppc and i686) architecture. Q. In case you are building C-Extensions for python using cython or swig or anything else, how do you make sure that extension are universal and will run on both (ppc and i686) platform? Q. If a package is deployed on 10.5.5, is it going to work on minor version such as 10.5.1 or even 10.4.x? I may have asked things in an inappropriate way as I don't know much about Mac platform. accept my apologies in advance.
