[TIP] Problem with Python 2.4 and tox on Mac OS X Lion

[Aaron Meurer]

I think MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is not so much related to
architecture as what version of Mac OS X is supposedly supported by
the compiled binary (I'm not 100% sure of this, as I'm no Cocoa
developer, though).

Likely you can solve the issue by recompiling Python 2.4 in Lion with XCode 4.
