</div>I agree. I'll chime in and give my recommendations, though Ralf is the<br>
expert:<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>David is our resident build/distribute guru actually.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
For MacOS X I suggest building binary installers for <a href="http://python.org" target="_blank">python.org</a>'s python<br>
2.7, 3.2 and 3.3 (the 64-bit versions). The result will run on 10.6 and<br>
later. It is safest to build these on MacOS X 10.6; it may work to build<br>
on a later MacOS X, but it sure doesn't for some packages.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agreed. I think we discussed before not providing OS X 10.5 and python 2.6 binaries, that would make sense imho.<br> <br>

You will have to update to the latest bdist_mpkg to build Mac binary<br>
installers for python 3. I've not tried it yet.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I just tried, it's now possible to build 3.x binaries with a simple ``paver dmg -p 3.3``.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I don't think users expect a binary installer for Apple's python; I<br>
don't recall ever seeing these for numpy, scipy, matplotlib.... But if<br>
you do want to supply one, </blockquote><div><br></div><div>We don't I think. Just <a href="http://python.org">python.org</a>, keeps it simple.<br><br></div><div>Cheers,<br>Ralf<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Apple provides Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 but no<br>
3.x (at least in MacOS X 10.8).<br>
