Distinguishing between MacPython and Fink Python at runtime
by hinsen＠cnrs-orleans.fr Sept. 7, 2004

Sept. 7, 2004

Is anyone aware of a reliable method for finding out at runtime if a program is running under MacPython or the Fink installation of Python? sys.platform is "darwin" in both cases. The reason for wanting to distinguish between the two is the difference in the handling of modifier keys in the standard X11 Tk and the TclTkAqua that MacPython uses. The X11 version uses Ctrl and Alt (which is mapped to the command key), whereas TclTkAqua uses Ctrl and Command. Konrad.

Developing Python extentions on Mac X OS
by John Dean Sept. 5, 2004

Sept. 5, 2004

Hi I am attempting to port Rekall to the Mac, only I am acomplete newbbie when it comes to Mac application development; I am more at home on Linux or Windows. Rekall includes a large number of Python extentions, which need Sip and SlipLib. Sip, SipLib and the extentions are dependent on the Mac equivalent of libpython2.3.so (possibly libpython2.3.dylib) yet it doesn't seem to be available with the Apple supplied dev kits. Could somebody tell where I can find the python dylib or would I need to buold Python from scratch? Thank you in advance Regards John Dean co-author of Rekall, the alternative to MS Access

Use psycopg, it's a hell of a lot faster anyway.
