[Pythonmac-SIG] Using setup.py/distutils on Intel Macs

[steve]

Hello List,

I'm new here so please forgive me if this is a dupe question ....

I can't seem to install python source dists correctly. I follow:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install


It installs cleanly except I notice "byte-compiling 
build/bdist.darwin-8.6.1-Power_Macintosh" which seems very weird to me 
-- that is comes up as Power_Macintosh.

When I start using the module I usually run into "ImportError: 
Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading". Is there any workarounds?

This can be reproduced by downloading and installing the current stable 
PIL src dist from source.

Thanks!
Steve Milner
