[pylucene-dev] Re: [Bug 5609] New: Linking against Python.framework, ignoring PREFIX_PYTHON

[Andi Vajda]

Python is normally installed as a framework on OS X, but it is still Python 
2.3.5. A PyLucene user recently said that PyLucene works well with Python 
2.3.5 since the threading bug preventing Python 2.3 support with PyLucene is 
included in Python 2.3.5.

So here are various options:
   - compile and link against the installed Python 2.3.5 framework
   - use the Linux sections in the PyLucene Makefile as an example to figure
     out a Mac OS X framework-less configuration
   - create a configure script for PyLucene that would support all options
     under the sun and then some (!)

I do not have fink installed on my powerbook. Given the system pollution 
rumors swirling around fink, I chose to install darwinports instead.
I should be providing a Mac OS X python-darwinports section in PyLucene's 
Makefile soon.
