Summary: SCO_SV: many modules cannot be imported

Initial Comment:
Trying to execute the makefile for Python 2.3.1 and 2.3.

2c on an SCO-box results in a lot of warnings like:



*** WARNING: importing extension "struct" failed with 

exceptions.AttributeError:

 'module' object has no attribute 'load_dynamic'



This results in not being able to import the struct (and 

many others) module in the Python interpreter:



Python 2.3.2c1 (#7, Oct  1 2003, 12:08:43) [C] on 

sco_sv3

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more 

information.

>>> import struct

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

ImportError: No module named struct



See the attached make.out file, which includes the 

generated makefile for my system, followed by the output 

sent to stdout.



Installing Python 2.2.3 went almost flawless.

Hm. mwh is right - it seems like HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING isn't

being defined. Could you also attach the files configure.log

and pyconfig.h from the 2.3 build?

It looks like the module 'imp' is messed up.  That's strange.

Ugh. I don't have access to any SCO boxes to debug this.

Could you rebuild Python 2.2 on the same platform and attach

the output (as you did for 2.3). Obviously something's

changed in how we invoke the dynamic linker or some such.
