The major difference between the packages on macports and pythonmac.org is that macports is their own distro of nearly everything, akin to installing a copy of FreeBSD over top of Mac OS X. pythonmac.org contains packages that are self-contained and don't have a whole new set of libraries to install (in the cases where they do require libraries, they link them in statically for the most part).
Theses comments are from my point of view as a developer for end users on the Mac.
For my pysvn project I release kits for all the python versions
- Apple python 2.3 powerpc
- Apple python 2.4 intel
- MacPython 2.4.x powerpc
- MacPython 2.5.x powerpc and intel
And in the future I intend to support:
- 2.6b3 framework build
- 3.0b3 framework build
These are all framework builds and they are totally isolated from
each other.
And I release pysvn as DMG kits as well.
For pysvn workbench I use the wxWidgets released DMG kits. And create a application using python module bundlebuilder.
Whatever you do should point to a framework build including
bundelbuilder
which is installed using a Mac installer. Which is the status quo so
far.
