Subject: [Pythonmac-SIG] Strange failure on 'python setup.py build' after 10.4.10 update


My G5 at work has started spitting out this message when I try to build a python package from source.  The previous week I completed many builds with no problem.  I did similar builds on my home system with no problem.

The major change at work was I finally installed the 10.4.10 update (and suddenly had to change my $PATH to get python 2.4 back!) and my home system is still at 10.4.9.

I would check that the default python is in fact 2.4 or whatever version you think it should be and not an earlier version. 
You may have had an Apple build of python included in this update.
This would overwrite any symbolic links to the 2.4 install you made after the original OS install.
Which would explain why you had to change the $PATH
Certainly  doing  a full install of XCode will cause the default python to revert to 2.3

Is this a known issue & I'm behind the times or is this new?

Thanks,
Tom

Deleting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET enabled me to run the
builds.  I  
notice my laptop does not have that defined at all.

The problem machine is a clean install so there were no
older pythons  
installed.

I had rarely set the PATH after installing the main
MacPython package  
it would always use the new version.  Of course, if that was
working  
due to a link, it would certainly explain the behavior I
encountered.

Thanks,
Tom
