[Pythonmac-SIG] Embedding and PyObjC - 2.3 Framework?

[Glenn Andreas]

I've got the start of a project that I want to use PyObjC with 
embedded python, but I'm running into a problem.

According to the PyObjC embedding docs, one should use the 2.3 based 
Python.Framework.  When I do this, when the objc is dynamically 
loaded, it fails, being unable to find PyDescr_IsData (and a quick nm 
& grep shows that it isn't in the 2.3 based framework that I 
downloaded last night).  Since I had the 2.2.1 sources handy, I 
compiled the 2.2 based Python.Framework, and when linking with that, 
everything works.  (I also tried to statically link in the 2.2.1 
libpython.a that I build, but that has other problems).

This is basically an IDE (similar to the OS 9/Carbon Python IDE, but 
built with Cocoa), so at this point since it is targetting 
developers, telling them "download the latest Python.Framework and 
PyObjC" is acceptable (if it worked), but "download the 2.2.1 
sources, compile & install the framework, and then download PyObjC" 
is just a bit above the pain threshold.

Ultimately, of course, I'd like to have a single app that can be 
downloaded with no other external requirements, but that's a problem 
for later...
