Sorry for duplicating this conversation - just going through my 
outstanding emails. Feel free to ignore the one on python-dev.

What are the external libraries? This is probably documented somewhere, 
so could you point me to it? (Sorry - my ignorance I know.)

> * dl doesn't get build on OSX 10.6 when you use the default configure settings because that results in a 64-bit binary and setup.py explicitly disables building the dl module for 64-bit platforms. Apple has a patch that enables building dl on 64-bit OSX, I haven't had time to check if that patch is actually valid.

Ok. I would be interested in how to do a 32bit build.

Hmm... I have readline installed (via homebrew). Is that not sufficient?

OS X 10.6.3.

$ file /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Tcl
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Tcl: Mach-O universal binary with 2 
architectures
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Tcl (for architecture ppc):   Mach-O 
dynamically linked shared library ppc
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Tcl (for architecture i386):  Mach-O 
dynamically linked shared library i386

My configure command is: ./configure --prefix=/dev/null --with-pydebug


All the best,

Michael Foord
