[Pythonmac-SIG] Strange python behavior after upgrading to OS X 10.5.3

[Larry Meyn]

I¹ve been successfully using parallel python with a framework build of
python 2.5.2 on an 8-core Mac Pro.  After upgrading to OS X 10.5.3 yesterday
my program quit working and the traceback indicated that it failed within
PIL.  However, my code does not import PIL and I don¹t believe that parallel
python uses it either.  I removed PIL from the site-packages and the program
failed within a different module.   As I didn¹t really have time to try and
further diagnose the problem, I decided do a Time Machine restore from
immediately before the 10.5.3 upgrade.  This resolved the problem.  I¹m not
totally sure that 10.5.3 was the source of the problem and I realize that
I¹m not providing enough detail for others to diagnose the problem if 10.5.3
was the source, but I thought some people might appreciate a heads up that
upgrading to 10.5.3 might cause problems.
