Yes, distutils stops with a message along the lines of error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
That's also what e.g. make does by default, unless you run it with the -k flag.
Ok, thanks, then there's not much for me to do, except perhaps at some point make the error message nicer: it now crashes with a nasty traceback... Btw. does really nobody have any advice on my ranlib question of a couple of days ago? Just

distutils is your friend here: you just have subclass build_ext.

Nope. Why don't you write up a patch which then only affects distutils on Macs ?! -- Marc-Andre Lemburg CEO eGenix.com Software GmbH ______________________________________________________________________ Consulting & Company: http://www.egenix.com/ Python Software: http://www.lemburg.com/python/

I have no idea what that has to do with what I wrote...

Ok, I'll try. I didn't know whether that was a nono or not. Just
