No, python compiles fine in my test builds against 10.6sdk. Post-Eden, then build system will be moving from 10.4sdk to 10.6sdk using gcc, clang is a nightmare to deal with under a cross-build right now.

Just checked - apparently the problem is not being able to compile python extension modules with Xcode 4.2 installed (which is always the case on 10.7 but may be optionally installed on 10.6) due to the removal of gcc-4.2. Or something like that - I don't work on MacOS X so I'm just parroting from python-dev here.

If development is going to wait for things to play nice with apple before moving forward we might as well give up on all media player aspects of this project. Unfortunately last I checked the point of this project was to be a media player :confused2:

Wow is this true? we have to wait for things to work on apple really?

Perhaps you should pay attention to someone who does
Python is not a problem because we will be targeting 10.6SDK, NOT 10.7SDK. Now if that does not mean something, then you should not be playing in this sandbox.

Nice egoistic point. Which plattform do you use? Now imagine it wouldn't build on your plattform but on all others. Then we just would bump version for all others but not for your plattform and then just ignore it - just for keeping all other users happy. I bet you would hate this aswell right?
Who am i talking to ...

The guy is raising a valid point. Let's say that iOS for whatever reason gets stuck with obsolete ffmpeg (or whatever else) for a couple of years. Would it be fairer to make all other platforms obsolete to wait for iOS to catch up?
Bear in mind that I am an iPad and iPhone user. While I respect the choice of heavily supporting multiplatform development, I have some doubts that leaving a significant majority with outdated codecs would be the best road to follow.

I just love the way some posters just ignore the comment of the dev who has the osx-fu/ios-fu to understand the issues. I did design and implement the current build system after all so I think I know WTF I'm talking about.

I could say that I just love the way some posters decide they know better than everyone else, including everyone else's desires and priorities.
To answer "code welcome" in a feature suggestions forum is pointless.
I also have to say that some decisions with regard to the development roadmap could use better communication. I still fail to understand, for instance, why the patch that has been developed (so it's not a matter of "code welcome") for fixing the audio delay won't be in Eden, considering the need for it is most certainly a bug.
