Which looks a whole lot to me like you have to build the Intel and PPC 
binaries separate, then the R installer selects the right one for you 
when you install. This is a smart installer, NOT a universal binary.

However, this isn't an R list. Universal python requires Universal 
binary libs (if you want a Universal install and/or want to build 
universal py2app bundles), rather than a smart installer.

great, thanks. That wasn't the page previously linked, and I didn't find 
that statement anywhere.

So does that mean we can build Universal binaries of Scipy now?

And back to the original question -- is the binary at python mac (only 
2.4 at my last look) Universal?
