[Python-Dev] Compiling 2.7.2 on OS/2

Thu Jan 5 09:58:29 CET 2012

Hi All,
I'm working on updating my port of Python 2.6.5 to v2.7.2 for the OS/2 
platform.
I have python.exe and python27.dll compiling find, but when starting to 
build sharedmods I'm getting the following error:
running build
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "./setup.py", line 2092, in <module>

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Any suggestions? A google showed a similar error on AIX with no clear 
resolution.
Thanks in advance,
