I don't have a phone to test BitPim with, but if I import a CSV file,  
I get the following traceback after assigning columns to the data and  
importing it:

Also notable is when either running from source or running from my  
build, the Quit function (both menu, dock and Cmd-Q) does not work  
with Python 2.5 and wxPython 2.8.1.1. I have to force quit the  
application. It does work with Python 2.4 and wxPython 2.6.3.3. I  
think the next thing for me to try is wxPython 2.6.3.3 on Python 2.5  
and see if that fixes itself. I have a feeling that it is related to  
wxPython 2.8.1.1 and not Python itself.

Here is the result of lipo -detailed_info on my version of apsw.so  
(built dynamically via the APSW documentation instructions):

Fat header in: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/site-packages/apsw.so
fat_magic 0xcafebabe
nfat_arch 2
architecture i386
     cputype CPU_TYPE_I386
     cpusubtype CPU_SUBTYPE_I386_ALL
     offset 4096
     size 157368
     align 2^12 (4096)
architecture ppc
     cputype CPU_TYPE_POWERPC
     cpusubtype CPU_SUBTYPE_POWERPC_ALL
     offset 163840
     size 162084
     align 2^12 (4096)

Another library to check would be the native packages, i.e. jaro/ 
winkler and libusb. Compiling Jaro/winkler gives a universal library,  
but libusb doesn't as evidenced by the following lipo info:

Fat header in: /Users/apanchal/Projects/bitpim/trunk/bitpim/src/ 
native/strings/jarow.so
fat_magic 0xcafebabe
nfat_arch 2
architecture i386
     cputype CPU_TYPE_I386
     cpusubtype CPU_SUBTYPE_I386_ALL
     offset 4096
     size 29116
     align 2^12 (4096)
architecture ppc
     cputype CPU_TYPE_POWERPC
     cpusubtype CPU_SUBTYPE_POWERPC_ALL
     offset 36864
     size 24848
     align 2^12 (4096)

input file /Users/apanchal/Projects/bitpim/trunk/bitpim/src/native/ 
usb/_libusb.so is not a fat file
Non-fat file: /Users/apanchal/Projects/bitpim/trunk/bitpim/src/native/ 
usb/_libusb.so is architecture: i386

Any suggestions on making the libusb shared library universal?

Final thoughts:

I think we can only make a universal build if we use a universal  
version of Python (seems obvious enough). That said, the built-in 2.3  
(either on Intel or PPC) is going to be platform specific. I don't  
think at this point it matters which version of Python we use 2.3,  
2.4, or 2.5 as long as it meets that requirement and you have to  
install a framework build in order to have universal Python. Also as  
to licensing issues to redistributables, AFAIK, the Mac OS X build of  
Python does not have any issues like the Windows version which relies  
on some MS .dlls. I believe that was the reason we are not using 2.4  
or above.

Hope that makes sense,

Adit
