Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I don't recall exactly why the universal build support is done the way it is, adding it is too long ago.
The reason is likely no longer relevant with any reasonably up-to-date toolset. The patch was created around the time x86 support was added to OSX and at the time there were numerous rough edges (and IIRC I worked on this using a Developer Transition Kit at work, that is before Apple shipped consumer hardware with x86 support, let alone non-beta software with x86 support) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8027> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
