Hi all,
I don't think we actually ever explictly dropped support for Python 2.3. Perhaps we should for a particular version of lxml
Hmm, it would definitely be easiest to do that for lxml 1.1. ;)
, but it'd be nice if we could track down this bug. It might indicate something wrong in Python 2.4 that just doesn't show up right away, I don't know.
I don't think so. At least in Holger's stack traces, the segfault occurred in pthreads when releasing the Python thread context, so it can't really be a problem in lxml itself.
One way to work around this kind of problem would be to not release the
context under 2.3. That should be simple to do, if we know the right
Just my -1 for dropping python2.3 support. When used in an enterprise production context you will just not switch tested versions quick unless there is some real need to (new functionality you desparately want/dependancy of a module you need) or you have time to spare (doesn't happen that often). It's especially time-consuming when you depend on C- or C++-extensions. As for the dependency of some module, it might well be the case that someone would rather choose not use lxml than upgrade python. thread places
where we have to do this.

Better imho, so 2.3 users can still depend on lxml. Regards, Holger Der Inhalt dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich.
