Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, at the time support for OS X universal builds was added, it was not anticipated that there would be a need for that particular combination of architectures, i.e. just PPC-32 and PPC-64, and, to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time this request has come up. The universal platform names defined in get_platform_osx have become an external standard and are used elsewhere in the Python ecosphere, in particular, in pip and in binary wheels. So adding a new universal platform name at this time for the combination of two long obsolete architectures is probably not a good idea. Options: either build separate single-architecture versions, or add "i386" to use the existing "fat3" definition, or continue to apply the patch yourself.
