Theses comments are from my point of view as a developer
for end users on the Mac.

For my pysvn project I release kits for all the python versions

* Apple python 2.3 powerpc
* Apple python 2.4 intel
* MacPython 2.4.x powerpc
* MacPython 2.5.x powerpc and intel

And in the future I intend to support:
* 2.6b3 framework build
* 3.0b3 framework build

These are all framework builds and they are totally isolated from  
each other.

And I release pysvn as DMG kits as well.

For pysvn workbench I use the wxWidgets released DMG kits.
And create a application using python module bundlebuilder.

Whatever you do should point to a framework build including  
bundelbuilder
which is installed using a Mac installer. Which is the status quo so  
far.
