Hi,
I have now checked and the Xcode Python framework is build for
i386+ppc+x86_64 (from file
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python)
whereas wxWidgets+wxPython from Xcode is only i386+ppc. I think I
will have to build my own custom Python Mac Framework and have a
wxPython build with matching architectures. This might take a while,
building wxWidgets and wxPython is an absolute nightmare!
I would prefer to keep the ppc target, if possible, as some smaller
NMR groups will hang on to their old G5 hardware for a long time yet.
In any case, I will have to build a custom framework with a set of
matching architectures, so if ppc is in there or not shouldn't make a
difference.
As for using Linux with the relax GUI, it is true that works
flawlessly. In fact, due to the amount of work involved, I was
considering dropping all build targets and telling all Mac and Windows
users that if they would like to use the GUI that they should run
relax in a VM running Linux.
Cheers,
Edward

Hi Edward,
Is it worth having a 64-bit x86 version?
Does relax need to access more than 4 GB of RAM per process/thread? I think
that's still the main deciding factor in the 32/64-bit choice. Apple claims
that 64-bit apps can see a 5-15% performance increase depending on workload
due to the extra general purpose CPU registers available in 64-bit mode.

Among my user population, we have very few PPC users left. The stats from
our ~425 OS X users in March:

Given the current difficulties, my suggestion would be to simplify,
simplify, simplify. :-) Once you have a stable package that is working for
the most common platforms, i.e. OS X Intel 10.6/7, then add more options as
necessary to satisfy the corner cases.
As an aside, the linux packages work great on every distro I've tested:
Red Hat/CentOS 5 and 6, Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.10, Debian 6, 32 and 64-bit for
all of them.
