[Pythonmac-SIG] libpython2.4 for OS X?

[Tom Loredo]

Hi folks,

I'm introducing a colleague of mine to Python.  He heavily uses R,
and so is interested in using the RPy (R from Python) and RSPython
(R-Python bidirectional bridge) packages.  We have RPy working,
with plots displayed via X11; the quartz interface suffers the
spinning ball problem, even when it's run with pythonw.

The challenge is RSPython.  The install fails at ./configure
because it can't find a libpython2.4 library anywhere.  I've
looked for one in the usual places (/usr/lib, /usr/local/lib,
Python.framework), but can't find one.  Is there one lurking
somewhere that I'm overlooking?  If one is not in MacPython,
is there a good reason (i.e., a reason it wouldn't be useful),
or is there a way we can build one?

He is using MacPython; I'm using ActivePython; we can't find
the library in either case.

Thanks,
Tom Loredo
