Sorry to be so late asking this question; Does that mean that PyLucene will not be available for OS X 10.3 which only ships (and will probably only ever ship with) Python 2.3? I understand that you don't want to maintain two separate versions, one for Python 2.3 and another for 2.4 but it does leave all current OS X users in a bind as far as I can tell.
Actually, I expect Apple to ship python 2.4 with their next OS version.
Yes, they certainly will but 10.3 will remain stuck in the past. My main concern was that nobody will able to ship a product using PyLucene on 10.3. But requiring the latest version of OS X is pretty standard and Tiger will be out in a few months.
Also, building python 2.4 for Mac OS X is quite simple:
- download the sources from www.python.org
- ./configure --enable-framework
- make
- sudo make frameworkinstall
The problem with versions <= 2.3 is that the PyGILState_Ensure() can deadlock.
That bug was fixed in September 2004, I believe.
I've never had good luck running custom Python installations alongside the built in Python framework. Those options explain why, I think. Thanks!
