New submission from Paul Nelson <paul.nel...@jmp.com>: By excluding the x86_64 architecture from the supplied MacOS install, you are crippling the ability to build an 64-bit application that embeds python. The Apple supplied universal binary includes all 3 architectures ppc, i386, and x86_64. If you are going to supply a Mac build you need to do the same. A 64-bit app has to link against 64-bit libraries, so the 64-bit build IS NECESSARY. You give no warning that you are excluding 1/3 of the architectures from your build. It also forces the unlucky downloader to circumvent the install, or rebuild from source.
