Do you need 32 bit support for the wheels or just for the MacPython
binaries? It's getting harder to build 32 / 64 bit universal
binaries these days...
What I need is a python, numpy, and matplotlib that support 32-bit and
(preferably) 64-bit for MacOS X 10.6 and later. I have been using
python.org python and the standard binary installers until now.
Until Mavericks I was using 64-bit mode. Unfortunately 32-bit is
required for older versions of Tcl/Tk to run under Mavericks and as I
noted, I can't use recent versions due to due to a bug (example
appended) that I've not found a workaround for.
I realize I'm in an unusual situation, and I"m not the one building the
binaries and trying to deal with the ATLAS headaches. If worst comes to
worst we can stay at the current version of numpy and matplotlib (at
least for now). Long term we should probably switch away from Tcl/TK,
though that would be a huge undertaking, or hire somebody to fix the
Tcl/Tk bug.

well we (that is, Matthew) have scripts that build those, so no reason not
to keep doing it.
Until Mavericks I was using 64-bit mode. Unfortunately 32-bit is
required for older versions of Tcl/Tk to run under Mavericks
kind of ironic that the latest OS doesn't end up supporting 64 bit!
I realize I'm in an unusual situation,
maybe -- but tkInter is part of the standard library, so we probably do
want to support it! If nothing else, various folks that teach Python use
the turtle module early on -- and one of the use cases for
easy-to-fine-and-install binaries is newbies...

Is Tcl/Tk that unused that this isn't getting addressed? kind of Sad,
though I was never a big fan -- at least once I discovered Python...

Updating for those of you not on the numpy mailing list - I've
uploaded 32 / 64 bit numpy / scipy wheels to pypi, so we should be
good for 32-bit compatibility now. I hope that will continue for at
least a couple of years, because I've automated the 32 / 64 bit build
process [1] and added 32-bit tests to my scipy-stack test rig [2].
So, I think it is time to rename the matplotlib wheels as I proposed
at the beginning of the thread. I propose to do that tomorrow unless
anyone can think of a reason not to.
Cheers,
Matthew
