[Metakit] Metakit, Tiger and Python 2.4.3

Hi,

I have seen this question posed elsewhere but no answer: On OS X  
Tiger the dylib's for metakit are not recognised by python and so  
attempting import Mk4py says module not found.

I assume that this is a change in the way the python 2.4's are built  
(2.4.1 doesn't work either) - they are not provided by Apple.

It seems that .so libraries are fine (I can rename the dylib's to .so  
and it tries to load them but complains about the format - I  
obviously didn't expect that to work but it showed that python was  
trying to load the so) so if I could modify the make file to make  
'so' versions of the library that would be great. However my skills  
with C++ and Makefiles are not what they should be anymore and I have  
not got the day or two it would take me to figure it out.

Could anyone help me with this? (or provide another solution to get  
it working with python 2.4.3?) Metakit would be an ideal solution for  
a project I am working on but if I can't get it to work on OS X then  
I need to find another solution.

cheers
