Well -- I guess I'm using the GCC that came with Xcode.    The python I'm
using the is the build of 2.5.2 that I got as a binary from www.python.org,
the frameork install that's gets installed in:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python

I've never had a problem building 64 binaries before ...


If it is CGI, then see about turning it into a WSGI application.


So, you're saying that the object of not having to have a new python
interprerter opened for every request is achieved properly if I use wsgi?


Thanks very much for this information below, though I think I need to
understand the wsgi model sort of from scratch ...
