[Pythonmac-SIG] Mac OS X compilers and Python 2.1

[Corran Webster]

Does anyone here know if it is possible to get the developer tools 
(such as gcc or Project Builder - which is basically an IDE for gcc, 
as far as I can see) supplied by Apple for OS X to compile power PC 
shared libraries like the ones currently used by MacPython?

As the author of the Python MPW HOWTO, I've been asked if it's 
possible; and the ability to do so would be very nice, but I don't 
know if it's even remotely possible.  I spent an evening earlier this 
week playing with both gcc and Project Builder, but with no luck; 
indeed I'm so far over my head with Project Builder I have no idea if 
what I was doing was even vaguely reasonable.

Any suggestions would be most welcome, success stories even more so. 
If it's possible, I'll try to find time to write up a HOWTO which 
describes the process.

Regards,
Corran
