[issue9045] 2.7rc1: 64-bit OSX installer is not built with 64-bit tkinter

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

The 2.7.1 python.org 64-/32-bit installer was changed to be built with a deployment target of 10.6 and linked with the Apple-supplied Cocoa Tk 8.5.7.  Now that ActiveState has released a 64-bit version of Cocoa Tk 8.5 and one that is much more stable than the current Apple-supplied one, the recent Python 3.2 release includes a 64-/32-bit installer for 10.6 which links with it.  The next release of 2.7 (2.7.2) will be similar.  For the python.org installers, the current plans are to support 64-bit installers only for 10.6 and above, not 10.5.
