[Pythonmac-SIG] Linking against a Python extension

[matthias.oberlaender@daimlerchrysler.com]

First question: Is it possible to link against a normally built Python 
extension? 

More specifically, I want to pass the '.so' file of some Python extension 
as an extra link argument to the 'weave.inline' function. This seems to 
work quite well on Linux. But I suspect, on Mac OS X  the answer is 'no'. 
I just want this confirmed.

Second question: Can I use distutils right out-of-the-box to create a 
dynamically linked shared library on OS X?

Thanks!
