New submission from C. E. Ball: On OS X, I wanted to build my own copy of Python that used my own copy of Tkinter (built for X11).
To do this, I passed "LDFLAGS=-rpath,/path/to/lib" to configure so that Python could find my specific lib files, but I also had to edit Python's setup.py so that detect_tkinter() would not do anything special for Darwin: $ diff setup.py original_setup.py 1199c1199 < if 0 and (platform == 'darwin' and --- > if (platform == 'darwin' and I did this based on a post by Ronald Oussoren to the Python-SIG Mac mailing list [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.apple/14008]. He also suggested that I file a bug report, asking for an argument to be added to python's configure script to avoid having to edit setup.py.
