Thanks to Tony Lownds, his patches at: http://tony.lownds.com/macosx/,
and discussions between he and Martin v. Loewis on pythonmac-sig,
building with dynamic shared modules on Darwin/MacOSX now works.
( The install scripts are still severely broken -- build and install
targets don't seem to agree about what platform this is! )
Another problem with case indifference proped up with FCNTL.py vs.
fcntlmodule.so -- the solution here, I think, is to move fcntlmodule
up above the *shared* marker in Modules/Setup so that it is builtin,
and both FCNTL and fcntl will import as the appropriate and different
modules.
Adding 'darwin1.2' to test_fcntl.py among the other bsd's where it
belongs will get it thru that test successfully. ( Otherwise, it
falls thru to the default case and gets an invalid arg. error. )
make test is now only failing on 3 tests:
test_format, test_largefile, & test_unicodedata.
test_format is failing on a unicode string so maybe it's the same
bug as test_unicodedata.
I vaguely recall someone saying this was a bug fixed in CVS, but
I couldn't manage to dig out that message. ( BTW: Is there someway
to get SourceForge to sort reverse order ? It shows bugs starting
with July, and I don't see any way to skip to the tail of the list --
just a 'next 50' button. )
