Do you need 32 bit support for the wheels or just for the MacPython
binaries? It's getting harder to build 32 / 64 bit universal
binaries these days...
Cheers,

I hope you will not drop 32-bit support yet.. I still use it to 
distribute some Tkinter apps. All recent versions of ActiveState Tcl/Tk 
8.5 have a nasty crashing bug that I have not found a workaround for, 
and old enough versions that don't have the bug need to run in 32-bit 
mode on Mavericks.

very interesting stats! I wonder how representative those are? Makes we
think we can drop 32 bit support, too. Maybe the newest 2.7 py.org binaries
could be 64 bit only. It would simplify things a bit.

not many -- it can be a really a pain to do so -- macports and homebrew
really expect you to have a recent compiler, which I think is difficult or
impossible to install on 10.6...

Yes, it could, but this list:
https://www.adium.im/sparkle/?year=2014&week=22&graph=bar#osVersion
suggests that 10.9 is the majority, and that 10.8 and 10.7 are only
about 14 percent combined. I guess a better case could be made for
10.6 (still 16 percent), but I wonder how many 10.6 hold-outs are
updating their homebrew / macports numpies regularly.
Cheers,
Matthew

what is this going to do on OS-X 10.7 and 10.8 systems running homebrew or
macports pythons? It seems this list could get pretty long!
