[Pythonmac-SIG] best way to install packages?

Yes, I know. I was hoping for some clarification. Let me try it this way:

I am running OS-X 10.4

I need Python >= 2.4.1

I *need* to build packages that will run on my machine, and I can give 
binaries to others running 10.4. I can also give them whatever 
pre-requisites they need, as long as there is )or I can make) and easy 
installer for it (like a python2.4.1 mpkg, for instance)

I also need to build stand-alone apps with Py2app that will run on 10.4

While I'm at it I'd *like* to build binaries that I can contribute to 
the community and put up on pythonmac.org.

Which python should I use? Which gcc should I use when I build stuff?

How is that? Robin provided binaries built for both 2.3 and 2.4 for OS-X 
10.3, but not for 10.4, so I think that means I need to use the python 
built for 10.3.

In addition, there is a thread in this group right now about trouble 
building wxPython on 10.4
