Hi: I have searched the docs and google but have not totally figured out how to accomplish my task: On a linux box, I want to compile and link python so that it uses no shared libraries, but does support import of some "extra" modules. I have made a few attempts but with limited success. In particular, I have tried things like adding -static to the compiler options in the Makefile.
At one point I managed to build a python that was close to what I wanted, e.g. when I ran "ldd python", it said: not a dynamic executable In that version, when I do some imports, e.g. sys, os, etc. they load fine. But, when I try to import some other modules, e.g. time, they are not found. I have tried similar procedures while also altering Modules/Setup.local (produced by configure) to contain: time timemodule.c # -lm # time operations and variables There has to be a simple, "elegant" way to accomplish this which I am simply overlooking. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. --ralph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
