It does not arisewith Python 2.3.x on Tiger or Python 2.4.x on Panther (MacOS 10.3.x)On top of that, it should only happen if you're using a Python 2.4.x build on Tiger that was compiled on Panther.Why would it not happen if Python 2.4 was built on Tiger?Quoting a message Ronald wrote a few days back, when we were discussing universal builds: "Python's configure has hardcoded that OSX 10.2 and 10.4 must not have _POSIX_SOURCE and friends defined. Annoyingly this means that if you build Python on Panther you'll have to patch the build if you want to build extensions on Tiger." In other words, on Tiger and Jaguar, Python does not define _POSIX_C_SOURCE, in which case everything goes smoothly. I didn't remember this point until Bob mentioned the patch...
My patch for this is here: http://www.python.org/sf/1416559 This turns of _POSIX_C_SOURCE for 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4. Ronald
