Compiling Python extensions for different Python installation

[John Ky]

Hello:

I have a machine that already has Python 2.2 installed.
Since I do not have root access to the machine, I have
installed Python 2.3 from source to my own private
directory. I can use this fine. When I build my own
C module extension and try to run it from Python 2.3
however, I get this message:

/test-wrk/test_manager/commonlib.py:12: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version
mismatch for module elxml: This Python has API version 1012, module elxml
has version 1011.

Could this be because the compilation was made against
2.2 and run from 2.3? If so, is there a way to force
my module compilation against 2.3?

Thanks

Just make sure that any include directives in your Makefile point to your
Python 2.3 include directory. It may be necessary to copy
Python-2.3/pyconfig.h to Python-2.3/Include/pyconfig.h.
