test_logging hangs on Solaris 8 (and 9)
by Mark Favas April 26, 2003

April 26, 2003

Just confirming Skip's observation - 2.3b1 test_logging (with Neal's patch) passed once on Solaris 9 (gcc 3.2.2) but failed thereafter. No other test failures. Mark Favas

PyRun_* functions
by wesley henwood April 26, 2003

April 26, 2003

Quote from py docs: "Note also that several of these functions take FILE* parameters. On particular issue which needs to be handled carefully is that the FILE structure for different C libraries can be different and incompatible. Under Windows (at least), it is possible for dynamically linked extensions to actually use different libraries, so care should be taken that FILE* parameters are only passed to these functions if it is certain that they were created by the same library that the … [View More]

LynxOS4 port: need pre-ncurses curses!
by Duane Voth April 26, 2003

April 26, 2003

First, Martin, muchas garcias! --export-dynamic was exactly the ticket. Next hurdle: Lynx is clearly hoping curses will go the way of the condor, their implementation is pre ncurses! Comments at the top of Python-2.2.2/Modules/_cursesmodule.c suggest that there was a prior version of Python curses that should be much closer to what LynxOS4 supports. Does anyone have an archived copy of the old _cursesmodule.c? Modules/_cursesmodule.c comments: * Based on prior work by Lance Ellinghaus … [View More]

April 26, 2003

While moving tests from test_sre to test_re I stumbled upon a simple test for sre.Scanner. This looks fairly cool. Should it be exposed through re and documented? Skip
