Python20 is most important so it should go first.

To clarify something Rene said earlier (I appear to have deleted that mail eventhough I had intended to reply to it :P) 'gcc' names its libraries 'libpython.{so,a}' because that's the UNIX convention: libraries are named 'lib.', where libtype is '.a' for static libraries and '.so' for dynamic (ELF, in any case) ones, and you link with -l, without the 'lib' in front of it. The 'lib' is UNIX-imposed, not something gcc or Guido made up.
