Neil,

I'm a little bit confused. Why are you modifying the Python
interpreter to see if your code (presumably not part of the Python
interpreter) is being executed? I will take a stab at your question
though, and suggest you aren't actually running the interpreter you
just built.

Can you provide some more context for your question?

One last thing. Are you working on Python itself
(python-dev at python.org is the right place to ask questions) or using
Python to develop an application (python-dev is not the right place,
try python-list at python.org)?
