Sure, but this move means that anyone using Xcode4 will have a hard time to build extensions for the 32-bit installers on OSX, those are hardcoded to build extensions for PPC and i386 and use the 10.4u SDK. I'll write something to include on the Macintosh page on www.python.org and will work on fixes for the next releases of Python, but AFAIK those are still months off (and I don't think this issue is something to rush those releases for). I'll see if I can write a small project that can be easy-installed and tweaks the distutils configuration when it is installed (using pth-trickery).
