Py_VISIT was introduced in Python v2.4, perhaps Mac OS X Tiger is including an older Python version (otherwise I don't know why the linker would fail) 2. The "suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous ‘else’" warning is because of code like "if (cond) Py_DECREF(...)" and Py_DECREF() is a macro which expands to "if (..) ... else ...". So the code will work as intended by there is a warning. So, #1 is the only serious problem. I guess Vim no longer supports older versions of Python. I'm not sure what the policy on being backwards compatible with older Python versions is. Björn -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
