Best thing to do is to use the 10.5 SDK but set the deployment target as

10.4. And check dynamically for the leopard only API and make sure they are

not called in Tiger. This would enable you to use new features in 10.5. Also

the dynamic loading of appropriate frameworks will be automatically taken care

by loading the framework from the frameworks folder of the system folder of the OS

its running.

Hello.

I'm working in Xcode 3 and building against the 10.5 SDK. My app embeds
Python so I must link against the Python.framework. The 10.5
Python.framework provides 2 versions of Python: 2.3 and 2.5. My app needs
to run on a clean install of Tiger, thus I need to be able to link against
Python 2.3 (Tiger shipped with Python 2.3.5). My Deployment target is set to
10.4.

How exactly can I force linking against the Python 2.3 within the system's
Python.framework?

Or perhaps more appropriate, given my constraints, how can I ensure my app
will run/launch under Tiger (if perhaps there's another way to go about
this)?

As well, is there a way I could work the linking such that I get the
"latest" Python depending where I run? If I force linking to the 2.3 I
assume when I run on Leopard it'll use the 2.3 Python. But if I'd like in
this case to load the 2.5 Python... well, is there some way to get this to
work, such that the app's runtime always picks the "latest" Python? If not,
that's ok. The main thing is being able to build under Leopard and 10.5 SDK
but still run under Tiger, given my Python situation.

Thank you.
