* For Python 2.7.x and 3.2.x, the 32-bit-only installer was configured to
support Mac OS X 10.3.9 through (at least) 10.6. Because it is
believed that there are few systems still running OS X 10.3 or 10.4
and because it has become increasingly difficult to test and
support the differences in these earlier systems, as of Python 3.3.0 the PSF
32-bit installer no longer supports them. For reference in building such
an installer yourself, the details are::
