At the moment my main OSX box is running 10.4 with software installed |
| 2 |
by macports. I also have a 10.5 box that has no non-apple software |
| 3 |
installed yet ... so I'm potentially interested in gentoo-prefix on |
| 4 |
either 10.4 or 10.5 |
| 5 |
|

Macports applies a number of patches to both python2.4 and 2.5 |
| 7 |
sources to build them ... some of which are 10.5 specific patchs ... |
| 8 |
perhaps those could be helpful? |

Related ... does anyone know how Gentoo itself solves the problem of |
| 11 |
multiple python versions with regards to external libraries ... eg |
| 12 |
for numpy, macports requires two near identical portfiles (ebuilds), |
| 13 |
one for each version of python |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
[obviously it would be useful for me to build a Gentoo VM somewhere |
| 16 |
so I can see how Gentoo itself works ...] |
