mxDateTime on Mac: Fatal Python Error

[contact]

I'm trying to get mxDateTime working on a Mac so that I can use pyscopg
and cx_Oracle. The Egenix base package builds and installs quite
happily, but then when I try to import it I get

import mx.DateTime

Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
Abort

.... any ideas?

Environment:

OS X 10.3.8
sys.version: '2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11) \n[GCC 3.3 20030304
(Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)]'
egenix-mx-base-2.0.6

Messages like these are usually the result of a version mismatch
between the Python interpreter and the .so file of the extensions.

Make sure you build the package using the same Python interpreter
you will later use it with.

Hmm, this might also be some weird Mac OS issue. While we currently
don't support Macs directly, we do welcome suggestions to make them
work on your favorite platform.

Works fine for me on a 2004 PowerBook with 10.3.8.

I'm using Python from DarwinPorts for pygtk and am using mx.DateTime
with it. I don't remember if DarwinPorts had mx.DateTime or if I
downloaded the source and installed it myself. I suspect it's the
version mismatch problem mentioned above.

import mx.DateTime

It is most likely a result of this:

If it is related to the issue I mention above, then it is a distutils specific bug fixed in current versions of Python, but not in the version installed by default by OS X.
