Well, Apple doesn't prevent people from building 32/64 bit-only python
installations. Doesn't that give you 3 choices i386, amd64, fat??
And you can have framework or non-framework builds.
Doesn't anybody else think this is lost work for very little gain? My
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages directory consumes 200MB on disk. I
couldn't care less if my /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages consumed the
same amount of disk space...
