[Pythonmac-SIG] PIL for OS-X

[Christopher Barker]

Hi all,

There's been a discussion over on the Image-sig about what the PIL web 
site should tell folks that want PIL for OS-X. There have simply been 
too many "I'm having trouble building PIL on OS-X" questions.

I've suggested that the PIL website include binaries for the "best" 
versions of Python to support. Fredrik can't build them, but hopefully 
someone on this list can do it for him when a new PIL version comes out 
-- the 1.1.6 binary on pythonmac.org/packages is a good start.

However, it's not so simple, 'cause of all the Python's out there. So my 
question is:

Can we build a single binary installer for PIL that will work with BOTH 
Apple's Python2.5 that comes with OS-X 10.5 and MacPython2.5, Universal 
Framework Build for OS-X 10.3.9 and above.

I think those are the most critical to support, and it would be great if 
we could do it with one installer.

Next in line would be MacPython2.4, I think, but I notice that the 
package on pythonmac.org/packages is out of date, so there must not be 
too much demand.

-Chris
