Unless Apple has really broken things (and they usually don't in this way), that should be fine. However, a potential arise when folks want to build their own extensions against the python.org (and numpy) binaries. As I understand it, you can not build extensions to the 32 bit 10.3 binary on Lion, because Apple has not distributed the 10.4 sdk with XCode (nor does it support PPC compilation) But I think the 10.6+ binaries are fine. ( wish we had 10.5+ Intel only binaries, as I still need to support 10.5, but there are reasons that wasn't done) No Lion here just yet, so I can't test -- hopefully soon. > Do the tests for the current 10.6 scipy installer > pass on 10.7?

Those are explicitly listed as 10.3-10.6 (not 10.7 ...). they'll work (the 10.6, not 10.7 is because 10.7 didn't exist yet) -- with the exception of the above, which is, unfortunately, a common numpy/scipy use case. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
