Hi Eddie,
the problem is not forcing a specific Python version. It's just that
there's a bug in the Pythonnator that makes it incompatible with Python
> 2.4 (i.e. any Python version worth using). Once that is fixed you can
build it on current systems, otherwise it just won't work.
Bye,
Jens

uima_wrap.cxx:2844: error: cannot convert ‘int*’ to ‘Py_ssize_t*’ for

We needed to change "int len" to "Py_ssize_t len" in that function (it
would probably work without the change on 32bit systems). Since
uima_wrap.cxx gets generated automatically, we'd need to actually track
down the original source of this error.
Actually, it's the exact same function in scriptators/uima.i so the fix
should be easy.
