Aaargh, I think I've found out what the problem is.

I'm using framework builds on MacOSX. I have two experimental builds of Python 3.1 around, plus a standard one installed in /Library. It's picking up the version of Python.framework in /Library/Frameworks instead of the one in the local build directory that python.exe was explicitly linked with.

Check the RUNPY definition in the Makefile, you should start python.exe using

DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=$PWD ./python.exe

(Assuming your running from the build directory, adjusting this for other situations should be easy)

Now I'm confused about why my other experimental build worked -- the one I've been using for yield-from and codef -- because it should have suffered from the same problem. And when I tried to use it again just now, it did indeed not work. Does anyone know if there's a way to tell Apple's linker to use a framework from a specific location and not go looking anywhere else?

Use the '--with-framework-name' option to configure, this enables you to build the framework with an alternate name and therefore have two framework installs side-by-side.

I use this to have a regular python build as well as a --with-pydebug build.
