[issue10709] Misc/AIX-NOTES needs updating
New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou@free.fr>: Sébastien, would you like to provide an updated version of that file? The current contents look hopelessly outdated. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 124024 nosy: docs@python, pitrou, sable priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Misc/AIX-NOTES needs updating versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________
Sébastien Sablé <sable@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Yes I will do that. I am currently reinstalling some buildbot environments for Python on AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 and once that is done, I will rewrite the note. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________
Sébastien Sablé <sable@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Antoine, can you take a look at issue 730467? That's a trivial patch to correct a compilation issue on AIX with a C++ compiler; and that means one less entry in the AIX-NOTES file to write before the 3.2 release... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________

can you take a look at issue 730467?
Yes, this is in my bug queue. But unless Georg decides otherwise, this will go in after 3.2 is released (in 3.2.1 probably). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________
Sébastien Sablé <sable@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Here is a first version of this doc for Python 3.2. It would be great if someone could proof read it since I am not a native english speaker (though it is not high level literature...). ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20770/AIX-NOTES _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________
Sébastien Sablé <sable@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Could this doc be added before the 3.2 release? I think it is convenient for the (few) AIX users and harmless. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________

R. David Murray <rdmurray@bitdance.com> added the comment: Here is a proofread diff. I did make one substantive change: I added a comment about the test suite not running with the default maxdata and not raising memory errors with 512MB. Is that correct? ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________

Sébastien Sablé <sable@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Yes it is correct. And thank you for proof reading it too. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________
Sébastien Sablé <sable@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Here is a new version of the file: It integrates the corrections by R. David, and I also modified the "memory limitations" section in order to use ldedit rather than some flags for the linker. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20782/AIX-NOTES _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________
Georg Brandl <georg@python.org> added the comment: Committed as r88438. Thanks! Please indicate how much of this needs to be backported to 2.7 and 3.1. ---------- resolution: -> fixed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________
Sébastien Sablé <sable@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Great! I intend to check that branch 2.7 works fine on AIX once I will have finished with 3.x (which should be soon). I will then update this file for Python 2.7 (there shouldn't be much changes hopefully). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________

Irit Katriel <iritkatriel@yahoo.com> added the comment: The version in the patch was added as Misc/README.AIX, and the backporting 2.7 and 3.1 is no longer relevant. ---------- nosy: +iritkatriel stage: needs patch -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue10709> _______________________________________
