I've made a point of not upgrading XCode for that reason -- and I'm not having trouble compiling PPC versions other extensions. I'm pretty sure I've done both C and C++ ones, too. I'm thinking that some of the standard stuff that distutils adds has been overridden by this build -- it's a big, complicated setup, using numpy, distutils, etc. I'm having trouble following it all (or simplifying it -- I don't need the whole package anyway). Entought is no longer testing on this distribution of Python, nor PPC at all, I believe, so they could have inadvertently broken it easily enough. thanks, -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG

That's what I'm still doing. It requires XCode 3.x. - Use gcc 4.2.1 to build extensions for 64-bit python.org python. Two issues: - you give up compatibility with MacOS X 10.5. - The result will not work with ActiveState's Tcl/Tk. Not a problem for you, but both of these are unacceptable for my code. - Use gcc 4.2.1 and ActiveState's 64-bit python 2.7. That supposedly gives you compatibility with MacOS X 10.5 and it surely works with ActiveState's Tcl/Tk. But you may need a license to distribute the results (likely free in your case). This is the way I'm leaning, and I even got a license, but I'm reluctant to give up on python.or python. -- Russell ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG

It requires XCode 3.x. Thanks -- I"ll try that. but: 1) I thought distutils took care of calling the "right" compliler to match what pyotn had been built with.

I don't understand what you mean by this. The python.org 64-/32-bit installers have a deployment target of 10.6 so will only work on 10.6 and 10.7 but they should work just fine with ActiveState's Tcl/Tk 8.5.x on 10.6 and 10.7, just not on 10.5. In fact, the installers are built and tested on systems with A/S Tcl/Tk 8.5.x and are their use is virtually required on 10.6 for any Tkinter applications due to the broken state of the Apple-supplied in Tcl/Tk 8.5.x in 10.6 (the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5.x is better in 10.7 but still behind the A/S version wrt critical fixes.) http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ -- Ned Deily, [email protected] ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG

Distutils *does* try to call the right CC compiler (that is, the compiler the Python itself was built with), unless the module/package/distribution's setup.py overrides it. If it is using C++ code, though, you may have to override that yourself since Python itself does not contain any C++ code and I don't think there is any special code in Distutils to override C++ stuff. > 2) how do I use 4.01. with distutils? For the any C++ modules, you may need to override the C++ compiler choice by using a CXX environment variable. What OS version are you trying this on, BTW? -- Ned Deily, [email protected] ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG

OK -- I'll try that. > What OS version are you trying this on, BTW? 10.6.8 Intel Corei7 I'll le tyou know how it works out when a get a chance. Thanks for your ideas.
