But I didn't have to do that on 10.3.9.  Are you saying that the info here
http://pythonmac.org/wiki/FAQ#head-9dfb0aba2a1a5c882ae0ba329fda3e16e6835e2f
is no longer correct for 10.4?

So what is the correct way to link an app that embeds Python on 10.4.x?
I'll be happy to update the above wiki entry when I find out.  All I'm
trying to do is find a safe way to link our app against the Apple-supplied
Python framework on 10.3, 10.4, etc.
