The standard installer for Python 2.5.4 when installed on Tiger, will contain a file libpython2.5.a which is a symbolic link to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python, which according to the file command, is a shared library. So it is not a static library, despite of its name! >e> Thanks, >e> Eric >e> On May 7, 12:41 pm, Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> wrote: >>> In article >>> <fde3b1d5-8a52-4ff1-9093-9ed470b4f...@g20g2000vba.googlegroups.com>, >>> Eric Winter <elwin...@verizon.net> wrote: >>> >>> > Hi all.
