Indeed -- I had to go find and install XCode3.* -- Apple really wants
you to keep moving forward! But once I got XCode 3 going -- it works
fine.

Good to know that the INtel 32/64 bit python works with newer Xcodes though.

But if you're not building anything it will run fine on newer OS-X
systems, and if you want to be able to deploy on older systems, I
think you need to use it, yes?

Maybe I'll get there some day -- but it'll be 2.7 for a while yet.
