[Pythonmac-SIG] problem fixing Carbon.AE/CarbonX.AE conflicts

[has]

Hi all,

Trying to eliminate the conflict that occurs between Carbon.AE and  
CarbonX.AE when both extensions are loaded. The problem is that both  
extensions need to export the following functions for use by other  
extensions: AEDesc_New, AEDesc_NewBorrowed and AEDesc_Convert.

The logical solution is to rename the CarbonX functions and have the  
other appscript-related extensions (PSN, OSA, OSATerminology) refer  
to those instead. Unfortunately, when I try to do this, all I get is  
a bunch of 'symbol not found' errors on import:

 >>> import aem
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ 
python2.4/site-packages/aeosa/aem/__init__.py", line 6, in ?
     from send import *

     import connect
   File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/ 
python2.4/site-packages/aeosa/aem/send/connect.py", line 10, in ?
     import PSN
ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Library/Frameworks/

   Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/ 
lib/python2.4/site-packages/aeosa/aem/send/PSN.so

A py-appscript branch containing patches to _AEmodule.c and PSN.c is  
available here:

svn checkout http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/appscript/py- 
appscript/branches/py-appscript-0.16.2

What am I doing wrong? I know my C's kinda ropey, but it's not  
usually this bad.

Thanks,

has
