python23 doesn't work in leopard (was: Problem installing redland-bindings +python)

[Yves Serrano]

Hi
I can't get python23 to work in leopard. After I couldn't get it to  
work with the default python23 Portfile, I tried to compile it manually.
When I used "./configure --disable-tk --disable-toolbox-glue --disable- 
framework" and add the line "#define HAVE_BROKEN_POSIX_SEMAPHORES 1"  
to pyconfig.h, I could start python23 without errors, but I doesn't  
work for everything. Here is the same error I get when I try to use  
zope2.8.
Python 2.3.6 (#12, Dec  6 2007, 23:19:03)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import asyncore
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/tmp/py23/lib/python2.3/asyncore.py", line 56, in ?
     from errno import EALREADY, EINPROGRESS, EWOULDBLOCK, ECONNRESET, \
ImportError: cannot import name ESHUTDOWN
I also tried the options under http://blogs.nuxeo.com/sections/blogs/florent_guillaume/2005_05_21_compiling_python_2_3_5 
  (tips for tiger)
Does anybody have an idea how this can be solved?
Could it be, that this has some thing to do with posix change (see http://www.nosignal.net/index.php/2007/10/27/leopard-has-landed/ 
  )?
For some projects, I can't switch to python24 or python25 at the  
moment and need to use python23 :-( .
regards
Yves
