Re: Python independant binary extensions

FWIW, here is what i got for python-libxslt1: the files are the same size,
but are different. I was wondering how different they could be and it's
quite stunning, actually:
mh@namakemono:/usr/lib/python-support/python-libxslt1$ hexdump -C python2.3/libxsltmod.so > /tmp/2.3
mh@namakemono:/usr/lib/python-support/python-libxslt1$ hexdump -C python2.4/libxsltmod.so > /tmp/2.4
mh@namakemono:/usr/lib/python-support/python-libxslt1$ diff /tmp/2.*

Yep, there's only one *bit* of difference.
