[Pythonmac-SIG] Embedding Python on OS X, nem to the list

[Mark Asbach]

Hi list,

first off, I'm new to this list, so here's my background: At the 
moment, I'm doing my diploma thesis on visualization of finite element 
data in the electric engineering department at Aachen university. This 
is also where I came into contact with Python, because the software 
package developed at the institute uses an embedded Python interpreter.

These days I'm porting the software to Mac OS X and got it up and 
running on 10.2 already. What I'd like to do now is adapting it to the 
Python installation already present on OS X. My questions are

- Am I right, that I need to build Python myself to get libpython that 
I can embed?

- What do I need to do to get the configure script detect libreadline 
and what will I need to do to have my own project compile and link 
correctly?

- What will I need to do to get a working Tcl/Tk setup?

Thanks a lot,

Mark
