Re: [Pyobjc-dev] building plug-ins on mac intel mini

[Bob I. <bo...@re...>]

It might be supported eventually, but it's very low priority for  
py2app at the moment. It's not a Python build that I use for anything  
at all, and it's useless for building universal apps since it  
requires a LOT of work to build universal extensions.  Universal  
Python builds universal extensions by default.

If you want a small distribution size you'll either have to make a  
meta-plugin that provides the Python runtime or require the users to  
have Python 2.4 installed.
