static program including python interpreter + dynamic python extensions

Dear Newsgroup,

I have a problem that is somewhat related to Alexandre Gillet's ones:
"build a static python executable".

I would like to make a C[++] program scriptable. Therefor, I have included
a python interpreter into the program. Additionally I have wraped all the
program's interfaces that I need, using SWIG. Finally, I have created a
shared library, which includes this interface and all functions that are
to be available from within python scripts. And it works: one can write
a script, which can access the program's routines and data, the main
program correctly loads them, using its python interpreter.

However, the program has to be linked dynamically. Once I try to change
the main program's linkage to static, loading any module, that is not a
plain python file (but a shared library), fails, saying:
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

Since I need the program to be linked statically, I would appreciate any
hint on how to fix this problem.
I'm using gcc 3.2 under linux (2.4.19) and python 2.3.2 (also checked with
2.2).

Thanks

Hi, I am trying to build a python interpreter that is static link.

Is there any way to build the python executable statically and still be able to load modules built as shared libraries? I'm trying to run python scripts on a stripped down FreeBSD (4.9) machine which has no shared system libraries so I want to link it statically against libc et al, but it would be nice to still be able to load modules which were built as shared libraries. In particular I have a library for which I've generated a wrapper...

I am trying to freeze a static executable. I built a static Python executable this way: ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/usr/local make make install Even that didn't give me a really static executable, though: $ ldd /usr/local/bin/python linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7f44000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f40000)
