the last one:

c++ -bundle -bundle_loader  
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python  
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Python -o  
libtbx/str_ext.so boost/libs/python/test/str.os -Llibtbx  
-L/net/worm/scratch1/rwgk/hot/libtbx -lboost_python -lm

should be:

c++ -bundle -o libtbx/str_ext.so boost/libs/python/test/str.os -Llibtbx  
-L/net/worm/scratch1/rwgk/hot/libtbx -framework Python -lboost_python  
-lm

see:
LDSHARED=   $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -bundle -framework $(PYTHONFRAMEWORK)

from:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/ 
config/Makefile

Basically the deal is that dyld does two level namespaces.. so except  
in the case of umbrella frameworks or libraries (don't try and do this  
for Python), if you don't have the symbol defined in your object file  
it does not get exported.  Therefore, anything that uses symbols from  
Python have to get them from the Python framework directly (I'm  
assuming that both libboost_python and str_ext use symbols from  
Python).
