Python-dev-ils: this just came in on the Pythonmac-SIG. Did anyone have a look at this already?

Improving bsddb detection in setup.py
by Skip Montanaro Aug. 20, 2001

Aug. 20, 2001

Folks, Back about the time 2.1.1 was in the throes of final release, I submitted a patch to setup.py. Thomas didn't want to apply it that close to the release. It's still sitting there: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=440725&group_id=5470&atid=1… I'd like to see this or something like it get into the distribution. Sleepycat keeps changing file formats, so there are now three incompatible versions of libdb out there. It's a pain in the tush making the switch.… [View More]

I saw no 267.... A while back, when I asked about adding PEPs, the answer was, "yes, you can add them yourself if you want; just pick off the next number." So I don't want to hear about a "spank" from you :-) And per my checkin message: the rest of the content arrives tonite...

Sure it was. The problem has nothing to do with __future__, it has to do with a failure of introspection, i.e. that the CO_xxx … [View More]

The problem may be the comma following the "b". That makes the RHS a tuple. Alex.

test_threaded_import hanging on MacOS and Irix
by Jack Jansen Aug. 19, 2001

Aug. 19, 2001

test_threaded_import occasionally hangs in MacPython from the current CVS tree (about 30% of the time) and I was going to look into this shortly, assuming it to be a Mac-specific error. But today suddenly it also hung on my Irix 6.5 Python, also uninterruptible with control-C. Is anyone else seeing this? Could this be a race that is machine-independent? I do happen to know that the SGI is rather aggressive with thread switching, and so is my MacPython pthread implementation... -- Jack Jansen … [View More]
