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.
Thanks David, that's clear. Can anyone please confirm that the MD5 checksum for the OS X installer for 2.6.4 at www.python.org/download/releases/ is 745494373683081a04cc71522f7c440e? I found an alternative download at openlogic.com, but if it's not the same as the python.org version then I won't bother with it. Cheers, Ralf
