Shane, the patch works great -- I can build pyxpcom under seamonkey
against OS X 10.4's builtin python installation, and everything seems
to work.

I'm trying to build it against my own custom python, but I at runtime
I get the error

The Python XPCOM loader is adding
'/Users/osaf/mozilla/od-ch3/dist/SeaMonkeyDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/python'
to sys.path
Could not import the Python XPCOM extension
exceptions.ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading

Specifically, it looks like pyxpcom can't open _xpcom.so, which is a
symlink to lib_xpcom.dylib :

> >> from xpcom import components
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin> ", line 1, in ?
  File "/Users/osaf/mozilla/od-ch3/dist/SeaMonkeyDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/python/xpcom/compo
nents.py",
line 39, in ?
    import xpt
  File "/Users/osaf/mozilla/od-ch3/dist/SeaMonkeyDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/python/xpcom/xpt.p
y",
line 72, in ?
    import xpcom._xpcom
ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading

I think it found the python shared libraries alright.  For the OS X
native python build, which works fine, I had to edit autoconf.mk to
use

PYTHON_LIBS = -L/usr/lib -lpython2.3

for my local python, configure didn't quite find all the library paths, so I did

PYTHON_INCLUDES =
-I/Users/osaf/chandler-trunk/chandler/debug/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4
/include/python2.4
PYTHON_LIBS = -F/Users/osaf/chandler-trunk/chandler/debug/Library/Frameworks
-framework Python

and, .../Frameworks/Python.framework/Python is the python shared
library, which, if I understand the OS X ld correctly, gets linked in
via -F and -framework  instead of -L and -l.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.  Thanks!
Brendan
