You need to build Csound itself as a shared library, this is an option in 
SConstruct.

As for Python, the stuff that is now in CsoundAC used to be built into 
CsoundVST, as well as the option to run Python scripts for generating scores 
etc. in CsoundVST itself (the editor was either a Python editor or a Csound 
code editor).

So if you want to use Python with Csound, check out "A Csound Tutorial" and 
ts section on Python, and look at 
Csound_Algorithmic_Composition_Tutorial.pdf in the current Windows installer 
on my Web site www.michael-gogins.com.

Hope this helps,
Mike

I'm affraid I need a bit more concrete help, here. I'm trying with these 
options (can't find one that matches "build Csound itself as a shared 
library"):

scons buildInterfaces=1 dynamicCsoundLibrary=1 buildPythonOpcodes=1 
useOSC=1 buildUtilities=1 buildCsoundVST=1

Could you please tell me exactly what option I need to add to make the 
build process happy?
