Yes, that is one of the two documented ways in the Apple man page to force 32-bit mode; the other way is to set a plist using the "defaults" command. Keep in mind that these are Apple modifications to Python so they won't work with other OS X Python distributions like those from python.org. The "arch" command should work with all of them, as long as you use "python2.7"; it won't work with the Apple wrapper program /usr/bin/python. And I believe the Apple modifications only work when you use /usr/bin/python. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
