Building 32-bit/64-bit vpython on MacOS?

Dear list,

I have recently discovered the Homebrew project, which is a fantastic
community driven package manager for MacOS,
http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew . Using this and pip
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip) I have build a really stable python
environment, both 32-bit and 64-bit on MacOS including numpy, scipy
etc.. I would now like to add vpython to the stack. Currently, I'm
using the pre-compiled 32-bit version from the installer and it works
really well with my python environment. However, this fails when
imported from the 64-bit python. So my questions:

* How easy would it be to provide a 'brew' for vpython specific to MacOS?

* Could a more general installer for vpython be added to the pip
package manager?

* Is there a fundamentally reason for sticking to 32-bit (e.g.
dependency difficulties?)

Best,

Dan
