[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: [wxPython] Compiling wxPython on OS X 10.1

Also, I've noticed that with my build of Python (2.1.1 built from python.org
source) there isn't multiple thread support. If I have Python running in one
terminal and try to start it in another, I get a "Bus error." Anyone know a
way around this?

This is a nasty Mac OS X 10.1 bug (or a Python bug triggered by 10.1). I fixed
it in the sourceforge CVS repository, so try building from CVS and the problem
should be gone.

Sorry for the late response! I built from CVS just fine, but the problem
persists. I think it may be an issue with the wxWindows shared library
though - not Python. I can start up two copies of the Python interactive
terminal just fine. It is only when I try to run a wxPython script in two
terminals that I get the bus error. I haven't done extensive testing, but
this is what I have found so far. Is there any way to track down what "Bus
error" means exactly? =)

Thanks,
