I'm trying to build on a PPC MacOS X 10.3.9 system using Python
2.4.1,
but "import pylab" gives a bus error. (This is for a python app I
distribute, so I can't give up on 10.3.9 yet. Once I solve this
problem
then I can redo it with static linking).

Try running it under gdb and get a backtrace to see where it's
actually crashing.

gdb --args /usr/local/bin/python -c "import pylab"
r
bt

Here is the backtrace. I suspect just the first few lines are
relevant, but I wasn't sure so I include the whole mess.

Looks like some problem with C++ and static initializers. No idea how
to help you here, I suggest trying the universal build and the latest
pylab egg.

The readme for wxPython claims that their universal build only works on 10.4 and not on 10.3.9 because of some issues in dyld on 10.3.9 that cause problems with some C++ constructs. IIRC static initializers was one of them. Could this be the same problem?
