[Python-Dev] Compiling 2.7.2 on OS/2

[Paul Smedley]

Hi All,

I'm working on updating my port of Python 2.6.5 to v2.7.2 for the OS/2 
platform.

I have python.exe and python27.dll compiling find, but when starting to 
build sharedmods I'm getting the following error:
running build
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./setup.py", line 2092, in <module>
     main()
   File "./setup.py", line 2087, in main

     for arg in sysconfig.get_config_var("CONFIG_ARGS").split()]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1


Any suggestions?  A google showed a similar error on AIX with no clear 
resolution.

Thanks in advance,

Paul
