Subject: [Pythonmac-SIG] Strange failure on 'python setup.py build' after 10.4.10 update


My G5 at work has started spitting out this message when I try to build a python package from source. The previous week I completed many builds with no problem. I did similar builds on my home system with no problem.

The major change at work was I finally installed the 10.4.10 update (and suddenly had to change my $PATH to get python 2.4 back!) and my home system is still at 10.4.9.

I would check that the default python is in fact 2.4 or whatever version you think it should be and not an earlier version.
You may have had an Apple build of python included in this update.
This would overwrite any symbolic links to the 2.4 install you made after the original OS install.
Which would explain why you had to change the $PATH
Certainly doing a full install of XCode will cause the default python to revert to 2.3

Is this a known issue & I'm behind the times or is this new?

Thanks,
Tom
