[Pythonmac-SIG] Leopard python architectures in setup.py

(Is it OK to ask about Apple's Leopard Python 2.5?)

I'm a little confused about the 64bit-ness of Apple's Python 2.5.  I  
see that the framework is, but the python executable is only universal  
32bit.  The modules (lib/python2.5/lib-dynload) and extras are a mix  
of 64bit and non-64bit, I presume because some depend on Carbon, which  
is not 64bit).

When I build a package with setup.py, it always seems to build  
universal non-64bit, even though I've checked that the extras that it  
depends on (numpy) are 64bit-capable.

Is there a way to get setup.py to build 64bit?  I'm just building a  
package from source, and don't really know much about developing  
python extensions.
