Hello all, I'm looking for advice on how to clean up an ugliness (one that I'm at least partly responsible for) in the Python build setup. Here's the problem: some of the exported functions (e.g. atanh, log1p) in the Python/pymath.c file aren't needed by the Python core at all; they're exported solely for use in the math and cmath modules. Even worse, these exported functions have no '_Py' or 'Py' prefix. Since I'm currently working on adding some oft-requested functions to the math module (gamma, lgamma, erf, ...) it seemed like a good time to clean this up. So I've now got a file Modules/math_support.c that contains some functions needed by both mathmodule.c and cmathmodule.c, as well as a couple of functions only currently needed by the math module. How should I incorporate this file into the build? One obvious solution seems to be to build an extra math_support.so file that's then used by both mathmodule.so and cmathmodule.so. Is this a sensible solution? Are there better ways? A complication to bear in mind is that some users may want to alter Modules/Setup.dist so that either the math module and/or the cmath module is included in the core Python executable. Cluelessly yours, Mark
