[Numpy-discussion] which Python for OS X to build installers?

[Ralf Gommers]

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?

I don't have a framework build installed, the 4-way universal build did not
work for me out of the box a while ago, and installer downloads from
python.org are blocked here (thanks Chinese Govt., the Great Firewall is an
impressive productivity killer). So I stuck with the default Apple Python
till now.

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?

Cheers,
Ralf
