[Pythonmac-SIG] ctypes and gestalt

2007-09-25 Thread Bill Janssen 
I noticed that ctypes doesn't load on my Mac, due to the fact that I
build 2.5.1 with --disable-toolbox-glue, and ctypes critically depends
on gestalt, which doesn't get built.  The only use for the gestalt
dependency is to check the version of OS X.

I'd like to replace that with

  DEFAULT_MODE = RTLD_LOCAL
  if _os.name == posix and _sys.platform == darwin:
  import platform

  # On OS X 10.3, we use RTLD_GLOBAL as default mode
  # because RTLD_LOCAL does not work at least on some
  # libraries.

  if [10, 4]  [int(x) for x in platform.release().split('.')[:2]]:
  DEFAULT_MODE = RTLD_GLOBAL

Looks find to me.  I say check it in and let people (or buildbots) complain
if something breaks.

Actually, it's broken.  Should be

  if int(platform.release().split('.')[0])  8:
  DEFAULT_MODE = RTLD_GLOBAL

We're looking at the version of Darwin, not OS X.
