Hi,

Am stumbling on a very rudimentary problem and am totally not able to
proceed. Googling did not help me much and hence am trying to state the
problem in its entirety.  Any quick comments/hints would be highly helpful.

Am getting the following error when i try to import the module (class) into
python :

$python
>>> import myClass
*Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: ./myClass.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_FromEncodedObject
*

*Environment:*
g++ (GCC) 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8)
Python 2.4.3

*Other Information:*
$ldd myClass.so
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00db8000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x002b3000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00eb7000)
