[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: Extension module binary compatibility

Hi again,

I've had a chance to do further testing and it looks like an extension
module built against the Python framework will not work with an
non-framework interpreter if the framework directory is not present. 
This means that there probably isn't a way to support the two 2.2
variants with a single extension module file.

Is there a way to definitively tell if an interpreter was built with a
framework?  Also, what happens if an interpreter is built with another
framework name?

Thanks,

John
