Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment:

Further investigation reveals that the underlying script 
Mac/Tools/fixapplepython23.py is broken on 3.x:

1. the version test using platform.mac_ver is incorrect
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "fixapplepython23.py", line 131, in <module>
    main()
  File "fixapplepython23.py", line 103, in main
    if osver != '10.3' and os.ver < '10.3.':
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ver'

2. and, even if the typo is corrected, osver returns a tuple
      >>> osver =  platform.mac_ver()
      >>> osver
        ('10.5.7', ('', '', ''), 'PowerPC')

The above are only seen on PPC builds since the script bails out earlier 
if running on an Intel platform.

At this point, it is a minor issue and the number of users who might be 
impacted must be few and getting fewer; eventually PythonSystemFixes 
should be removed when or before 10.3 is no longer supported.
