[New-bugs-announce] [issue11054] OS X installer build script for 3.2 can no longer build with system Python on OS X 10.5

[Ned Deily]

New submission from Ned Deily <nad at acm.org>:

During the 3.2rc1 release cycle, it was discovered that it was no longer possible to build the 32-bit installer on OS X 10.5 as customary with the system Python 2.5 due to an inadvertent 2.6 feature ("with") added to the OS X installer build script.  This unnecessarily complicates the installer build process and violates past attempts to keep the installer script buildable with the system Python and compatible across current Python 2.x and 3.x releases.  The attached patch to the installer script removes the "with", properly guards a new Python 3 only build step, and updates the comments and README file.  The patched build script has been tested on both OS X 10.5 and 10.6.  This patch should be included in 3.2rc2.
