This script should check to see if MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is already set. If I have some reason to set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 for compilation (say I'm compiling an extension that requires 10.4 features) then I'm going to have some serious problems with this fix. -bob

I was going to do that, but then I thought it didn't make any sense, because this script is *only* used in the context of Apple-provided Python 2.3. And setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to anything other than 10.3 (be it lower or higher) while compiling an extension for Apple's 2.3 is going to produce disappointing results anyway.

You're right, of course. I had realized that I was commenting on the fixpython script after I had replied, but my concern is still applicable to whatever solution is used for Python 2.4.1. Anything lower than 10.3 is of course an error, in either case. -bob

2.4.1 will install this fix into Apple-installed Python 2.3 (if applicable, i.e. if you're installing 2.4.1 on 10.3), but for its own use it will have the newer distutils, which understands that it needs to pick up MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET from the Makefile, so it'll never see these scripts. -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman
