Category: Macintosh Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Assigned to: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Summary: Apple-installed Python fails to build extensions Initial Comment: Apple-installed Python 2.3 (on Mac OS X 10.3) can no longer build extension modules after a newer framework build has been installed. This happens because it will build extensions with "-framework Python", which will actually link against the newer framework (be it 2.3.X or 2.4 or later) that is in /Library in stead of against it's own framework in /System/Library. After over a year of debating multiple solutions the Pythonmac-SIG consensus is that linking extensions with "-undefined dynamic_lookup" in stead of against the framework is the best solution. All of 2.5a0, 2.4.1 and 2.3.5 will detect the fact that they are being run on a machine that has an Apple-installed python that needs to be patched, and apply that patch. A standalone patch installer will also be made available. In addition, 2.5a0, 2.4.1 and 2.3.5 themselves will also use the -undefined dynamic_lookup method of linking when running on 10.3 or later (unless the user has specifically set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 10.2 or earlier). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Date: 2005-01-11 17:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=45365 All three of 2.3.X, 2.4.X and 2.5a0 now link extensions in a way that makes them either portable between Pythons (10.3 or later) or at least work in the face of other installed Pythons (10.2 or earlier). In addition, doing a frameworkinstall of either 2.3.X, 2.4.X or 2.5a0 will test whether an unpatched Apple-installed Python sits on the machine, and if there is it will warn the user to apply a patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1095822&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
