Hi all,

I have a question about python 3.2 distutils on a Gentoo amd64 system. When I open an ipython session and import distutils.unixcompiler and then check the shared library extension with UnixCCompiler.shared)lib_extension, it returns '.so', as I would expect. When I run a setup.py in an unofficial PIL source that should work with python 3.2 and step into it, I hit the line:

find_library_file(self, "tcl" + version):
    feature.tcl = "tcl"+TCL_VERSION

self is: <__main__.pil_build_ext object at 0xf44510>

find_library_file is:

def find_library_file(self, library):
return self.compiler.find_library_file(self.compiler.library_dirs, library)

self.compiler is <distutils.unixccompiler.UnixCCompiler object at 0xfc5410>
    library is:  'tcl8.5'

when I check the shared_lib_extension it returns '.cpython-32.so' - not '.so'

This is causing a problem because, for example, I have libtcl8.5.so, but it is looking for libtcl8.5.cpython-32.so.

Where is this shared lib extension being determined? After all, in an interactive session, it is just looking for .so, but in the script, it is looking for .cpython-32.so. I tried grep -R cpython-32 * in the top level directory of ther PIL source I am using, thinking it may be ovridden or set somewhere, but it turns up empty. Can anyone tell me what the difference is? I posted earlier, but I just noticed this difference between interactive session and script.

Thanks!
