[Pythonmac-SIG] Python 2.2 Framework _REENTRANT

[Adam Eijdenberg]

Hi,

I'm developing a Mach-O Carbon application that embeds Python and I'm 
getting a few funny warnings when I try to compile it.

I've installed the Unix version of Python with the commands "./configure 
--enable-framework && make && make framework" install as per 
documentation and that all seems to work fine.

But when I compile my application with:
cc *.c -framework Carbon -framework Python

I get the following warnings: (widget.h is one of my files, line 6 
#includes <Python/Python.h>)

widget.h:6: warning: could not use precompiled header 
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Headers/Carbon.p', because:
widget.h:6: warning: #ifdef '_REENTRANT' not defined when precompiled, 
but now defined:
widget.h:6: warning:   at 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers/pyconfig.h:208

Lines 207 and 208 in pyconfig.h are:

/* Define to force use of thread-safe errno, h_errno, and other 
functions */
#define _REENTRANT 1

Commenting out this line removes all warnings.

Everything seems to work fine, but could commenting this line out cause 
any problems?

Kind regards,
Adam Eijdenberg
