Ronald Oussoren added the comment: What 10.7? ;-) Please remember 10.7 is under NDA, and as such shouldn't be discussed in public. As I mentioned earlier: the 32-bit build should be deprecated and is only needed for older machines, anyone running modern machines can install OSX 10.6 (or late

Ned Deily added the comment: "Compilers are smart enough to pick the right architecture for them (xcode3 will build ppc/i386/x64 and xcode4 i386/x64" Actually, that's not the case for Python builds. The architecture selection is based on what the builder of the Python interpreter specified o

sorin added the comment: Let's try to find a good compromise regarding this. I hope the we all agree that we should not put our personal needs or preferences on the first place, it's important to improve the overall experience for most users. First, we do not want to fail to build and install

[issue11623] Distutils is reporting OSX 10.6 w/ XCode 4 as "universal"

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I don't agree that distutils should autodetect architectures, that can result in silent behavior changes when you built extensions and assume ppc support will get compiled in. We should probably start to mention the intel only builds more prominently though

[issue11623] Distutils is reporting OSX 10.6 w/ XCode 4 as "universal"

Ned Deily added the comment: All that said, the best solution to the problem is to use an appropriately configured Python for the task at hand. If you want to build Python executables that are compatible with older OS X versions and Mac hardware (in particular, all machines capable of runnin

sorin added the comment: I think that distutils must me modified to auto detect supported architectures and use them, this without requiring you to hack ARCHFLAGS. The number of developers that need to build PPC binaries is at least one order of magnitude lower than the number of users in ne

Ned Deily added the comment: A similar issue on StackOverflow reminded me that Distutils has support for the ARCHFLAGS environment variable on Mac OS X which you can use when building a C extension module to override the ARCH values that Python was built with. I don't have Xcode 4 installed

[issue11623] Distutils is reporting OSX 10.6 w/ XCode 4 as "universal"

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I haven't put much thought in a solution yet, but at this point I'd go for three changes: 1) Give a clear warning when python was configured for i386/ppc and Xcode4 is installed (instead of giving a vague compiler crash due to crapping out on ppc code

Ned Deily added the comment: The release of Xcode 4 for Mac OS X 10.6 has complicated things for Python builds. We need to sort out what the problems are and possible solutions for them. I suggest this issue be reassigned to Ronald and me. In the meantime, the workaround is to continue to u

Éric Araujo added the comment: Thanks for the report. Can you try to reproduce the bug with a distutils setup script to confirm the bug and get an error log? You may have to apply the patch from #11599 to get a complete error message. (Also, superuser rights are not required for build, so

New submission from Johannes Lindenbaum : This bug is a crosspost from /setuptools. (http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue122) Summary: OSX 10.6.x with Xcode 4 installed. Xcode 4 removes the PPC assembler from GCC. I attempted to install Fabric-1.0.0 which depended on pycrypto, during the py
