Hi,

With only a few changes (see diff below) to pavement.py I managed to build a dmg installer. For this I used the Python in the bootstrap virtualenv however, instead of the one in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/. Does this matter?

Yes it does. The binary installers should target the python from python.org, nothing else.

For making releases, would I need the framework build? Do I need 32- and 64-bit versions of Python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6?

The python from python.org do not support 64 bits (yet), so just build for ppc/x86. I never bothered with ppc64, and I think we can actually give up on ppc soon. cheers, David
