I have both fink and darwinport bits installed, but nothing from the 
toolchain.  That's all Apple, updated to the latest I'm aware of.

The problem turned out to be stale data.  For some reason, I was able 
to import and run setup without complaint, but it did nothing.  An old 
copy of the ".so" was hanging around, so when I ran the script that 
needed it, the old copy was found.

My current state is:
   - if I run python on setup.py (python setup.py build_ext --inplace),
     I get a boat-load of complaints about unreferenced variables, but
     the compile succeeds and produces a ".so"
   - I can run my python script and use the "pyrexed" C functions from 
the .so
   - I can't import/run setup in a python session; the attempt causes 
python to
     exit to shell.

I am now trying out ipython, which seems to provide a bit more 
information.  Is this the right list to continue my search for a 
solution?

Regards,

Justin
