And it turns out it should not be a problem for 3.x (and future releases of 2.x). Ronald fixed it several weeks ago here: <http://bugs.python.org/issue4064>

Python 3.0.1 (r301:69597, Feb 14 2009, 19:03:52) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

from distutils.util import getplatform; print(getplatform()) macosx-10.3-fat

My apologies to Ronald and the cohort for not re-examining this recently. The distutils "problem" isn't anymore.
