Does not work with command line options. Example: C:\sf\lpfw>setup.py build_ext -f running build_ext [...] val = string.lower(val) TypeError: read-only character buffer, int
ARRGGHHH!!!! Thank you Thomas; I only wish I had tested this myself. Duh. It's too late for Distutils 0.9.3 or, more importantly, Python 2.0b2 -- they both include the broken code. Damn, damn, damn! I'm uploading Distutils 0.9.4 to python.org as I type. Fixed three lines of code, and that was it. !@$#%#^@#@&!@#%@^!#$%!@%@!#% Did actually test it this time. Good thing I don't have one of those annoying mail programs that warn you when your language is potentially offensive... Greg -- Greg Ward gward@python.net http://starship.python.net/~gward/
