[Pythonmac-SIG] Embedding Python in applications under MacOSX and Darwin. (original) (raw)

I am wondering if someone can answer this question for me. Is Python installed as a framework under Darwin? If so, is there an easy way to know within a "configure" script (autoconf, libtool, et al) whether you are in MacOSX or Darwin? I do not run Darwin, just MacOSX. The reason that I ask this is that there are several programs that embed python within the Darwinports system and I would like to develop a common routine that would allow a "configure" script to properly compile and link against the Python Framework in MacOSX yet work in Darwin as well. I have not looked at a lot of ports, but the ones that I have looked at don't get it right and I am too new to the libtool system to provide a proper response. So any information or pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bob.
