Second question: I think the solution to peaceful coexistence is that all Pythons adopt the solution sketched in Bob's mail <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2004-December/_ _012292.html>. That discussion is rather technical, but what it boils down to is that all Pythons (on 10.3) build their extensions with "-undefined dynamiclookup", thereby forestalling that extensions inadvertently pull in a second, different, Python framework. Side question: do we know yet if the Python shipped with tiger will get this right? I think this is checkable by people not under NDA, but if not at least those people who have seen Tiger previews can think about it :) They got it right in the Python 2.3.3 that was posted along with the Darwin 8.0b1 (?) sources, I'm pretty sure I pointed this out several times.

Quite possibly...

There is no reason to believe they will screw it up between then (WWDC) and now :)

Except that I tried to look for evidence of this in the WWDC source drop last night before posting and failed to find it... oh, is it in configure.ed? That seems a strange place to hang it, but oh well.

Cheers, mwh
