[Python-Dev] Shorter float repr in Python 3.1? (original) (raw)

Okay, I think I might have fixed up the float endianness detection for universal builds on OS X. Ned, any chance you could give this another try with an updated version of the py3k-short-float-repr branch?

One thing I don't understand:

Is it true that to produce a working universal/fat build of Python, one has to first regenerate configure and pyconfig.h.in using autoconf version >= 2.62? If not, then I don't understand how the AC_C_BIGENDIAN autoconf macro can be giving the right results.
