Is there any way to build the python executable statically and still be able to load modules built as shared libraries?
I'm trying to run python scripts on a stripped down FreeBSD (4.9) machine which has no shared system libraries so I want to link it statically against libc et al, but it would be nice to still be able to load modules which were built as shared libraries. In particular I have a library for which I've generated a wrapper with swig which I'd like to import.
I've googled up and down but can't find anyone who has tried this particular combination. Just adding a -static to the Makefile seems to remove the ability to load shared libraries altogether as I get a "ImportError: Service unavailable" exception.
