I'm pretty new at this too -- I've owned an intel Mac for less than a  
month, and it's been a busy time, little chance to learn or tweak  
much yet; and in particular I've not yet been able to build a fat- 
binary .so Python extension with the Universal MacPython 2.4.3 and  
any simple "python setup.py build_ext -i" approach.  Ronald may  
hopefully understand these issues (and what if anything needs to be  
tweaked in distutils) a bit better...
