[Pyobjc-dev] Time for a release ?

[Steven D. M. <sd...@mi...>]

Bill -- I submitted that patch to add ".m" files to python, and
I got a note it was accepted.

With your changes to use distutils, it ought to build and install
out of the box on OSX with Python2.1 once it is released.
( Which will probably be soon. )

I think it's probably time for us to put out a release.

I changed the #ifdefs, which, because I originally didn't know
how to test for OSX, were a hack that probably broke the build
for other platforms.

Now:
  In ObjC.h, MACOSX is defined if defined(__APPLE__) && defined(__MACH__)

  #ifdef MACOSX is used elsewhere.

I did it that way because I think the __APPLE__ & __MACH__ trick is
a little too tricky -- I would rather eventually change it so that
setup adds a -D line with system name.

I tried to make it #define DARWIN at first, but the compiler
complained about it. Somewhere there is a precompiled header
that uses DARWIN, but I didn't want to rely on it being defined
elsewhere until I can find it.

I'll probably try to see if I can shake out any more bugs, and
then make a tar file and put it on sourceforge as a release.
