Doesn't that give you 3 choices i386, amd64, fat?? And you can have framework or non-framework builds. Doesn't anybody else think this is lost work for very little gain?

I'd much prefer to have cleanly separated environments by having separate directories for my python modules. Sharing the source code and complicating things will not lead to increased robustness. - Ralf ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
