Usually Python uses dynamic linking to load most of the modules. If I get up the courage, I will see if I can make GNU dld work (it does dynamic module loading, supposedly portably, but I have not looked into it) since Python already has support for it. Out of the regression test suite, test_cmath, test_openpty, test_popen2, and test_socket failed. The first two caused python to suicide; the second two generated error messages. The test_socket error was a host name resolution thing. Does gethostbyname in APE work? Does DNS work with it? Seems like someone mentioned this a while back. Building Python was not that hard; I spent maybe two hours. It's probably not that useful without the dynamic module loading, which most Python programs I have seen use to load C code. This would also reduce the python executable size significantly... --jss. --upas-cgybhjhfmbejkxrbvxyumdirgk--
