[Pythonmac-SIG] Newbie Mac Question

[Karl Merkley]

I have an application that I am porting to the Mac.  On Linux it 
requires that I link against libpython.so.  It  appears that Mac OS X 
10.3 does not include a libpython.dylib.   I _think_ I would like to 
stay compatible with the native python on the Mac.  What is the correct 
method for getting the shared library?  Assuming that I have to build 
it myself, what set of source do I download and build?  Are there any 
gotchas that I need to be aware of?

	TIA,
               Karl
