What you do is create a Python.framework directory in your project (or some subdirectory of it) and link Python.framework/Python to /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/2.5/Python. Then you *should* be able to add this "framework" to your project, or do as I did and add "-framework Python" to the "Other linker flags" build setting.</div><div><br></div><div>I tried this on a little sample project and verified with otool that the binary was linked against Python 2.5.</div><div><br></div><div>Again, I'm not sure you want to do this, but if you can't find any other way to solve your issues this may work for you.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Jason</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
