VERSION in getpath.c

Hello, First, I am new to Python so I hope this is the correct place to post this type of question. I am playing with embedding Python 2.3a and I am tring to get importing to work. I have noticed the following in module_search_path : /tftpboot/lib/python21.zip /python/lib/python2.1/lib-dynload The 2.1 comes from the VERSION label at the start of getpath.c. Should this be PACKAGE_VERSION ? Regards -- Chris Johns, cjohns at cybertec.com.au

It's not, but you're forgiven.
No, if you look in the Makefile the VERSION variable is passed in from the Makefile to the compilation of getpath.c (only), so that you can override it (and a few other parameters) from the Makefile command line. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
