[Pythonmac-SIG] Some questions about going to MacOS X 10.4

[Kent Quirk]

To this end, Bob, what would it take to make it possible to create
10.3-capable builds from 10.4?

In other words, is it technically feasible to support this? If so, what
has to be changed? 

If you could document what needs to happen, maybe some of the rest of us
could tackle the pieces. 

Especially with the intel stuff coming down the pike, I'd dearly like to
be able to develop the C++ portions of my app under 10.4 and XCode 2.1,
but still ship apps that could run under 10.3.

The version marker for a package is the minimum required version  
(really -- the version of Mac OS X on which it was built).  10.3  
packages work fine on 10.4, especially those for Python 2.4.
