[Numpy-discussion] numpy Mac binary for Python 2.6

[Russell E. Owen]

Does anyone have a binary installer for numpy 1.3.0 and Python 2.6?

I've been able to install from source and all tests passed, but I prefer 
official binaries because I have some confidence that there are no 
hidden dependencies (important for distributing self-contained apps).

I tried to build a binary myself with bdist_mpkg, but it failed with the 
following (I appended the full traceback, this is just a summary):

"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-pac
kages/bdist_mpkg/tools.py", line 90, in get_gid
    raise ValueError('group %s not found' % (name,))
ValueError: group admin not found

This is with bdist_mpkg 0.4.3 (official release), machllib and py2app 
from svn trunk (but same error with the official releases), svn 1.6.1, 
MacOS X 10.5.6 and export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4.

Not sure why get_gid would be failing. The admin group certainly appears 
to exist and is the owner of /Library/Frameworks.
