[Pythonmac-SIG] Building packages under Snow Leopard and Python 2.6.x

[William Kyngesburye]

I used this without any problems:

export PATH="/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH"
export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386"

python setup.py build


Compilation is correctly using gcc-4.2 and the 10.6 sdk.  This is with  
the system python.

Did you install Python from python.org?  They probably have the  
distutils using the 10.4 SDK and ppc+intel.  This needs gcc-4.0, but  
'gcc' will run 4.2, as Emanuele pointed out.
