Thanks very much, Ronald! Not sure I understood all that, but I know where to dig now... I see this in the comments in Modules/main.c: > See Lib/plat-mac/bundlebuiler.py for details about the bootstrap > script. I had thought this was a trivial matter, but now I see that it is a bit involved. Our application already sets up the Python interpreter from a C++ wrapper, so I suppose we already have a place to add hooks. Hmm. If I come up with anything simple and clever, I'll post back to the list.
