distutils problem with interdependent modules

Thanks so much for the feedback.

It is possible, and I'll check to see for sure, however, my
libraries have no global data, only code, so it really doesn't
matter if they are loaded twice, does it?  I really don't care
about the extra overhead or memory, since the library is
fairly small.  But actually, I think that Linux will only load
the code segment once no matter what, it is only the BSS
that is duplicated.

I don't get it.  How should I be segmenting my code?
I have two Python C extensions, FOO and BAR.  BAR is
dependent on FOO.  How should these be compiled, linked
and used together?

By the way, I have now massaged distutils to work under Linux,
but I have to make a symlink to the .so files in the build directory
to the top level package dir. I've almost got the whole thing working
with distutils under Windows, except that I need the .lib files in
the top level directory and I can't figure out how to move them there
from the build directory after each extension compiles.  Right now
I have to do that manually each time an extension finishes and the
build fails.

Thanks again for the help,

Dan
