free(): invalid pointer

Aug. 8, 2006

Hi all, I've got another error porting our apps. It's a django app and stops with (when pressing CTRL-C): *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb684c650 *** with MALLOC_CHECK=1 and gdb I get the following backtrace: Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

windows 2.5 build: use OpenSSL for hashlib [bug 1535502]
by Gregory P. Smith Aug. 8, 2006

Aug. 8, 2006

Whoever knows how the windows build process works and controls the python 2.5 windows release builds could you please make sure the hashlib module gets built + linked with OpenSSL rather than falling back to its much slower builtin implementations. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1535502&group_id=5… thanks, greg

Four issue trackers submitted for Infrastructue Committee's tracker search
by Brett Cannon Aug. 8, 2006

Aug. 8, 2006

Back in June, the Python Software Foundation's Infrastructure Committee asked for help in the search for a new issue tracker to replace SourceForge (see http://wiki.python.org/moin/CallForTrackers for details). We asked people who wished to help with the search to install their favourite issue tracker and import a data dump of our issues from SourceForge. We placed a deadline of August 7th to have the installation up and going. We realized that this was a large request to make of the community, … [View More]

Python 2.5b3 and AIX 4.3 - It Works
by Michael Kent Aug. 7, 2006

Aug. 7, 2006

Because of a requirement to remain compatible with AIX 4.3, I have been forced to stay with Python 2.3, because while 2.4 would compile under AIX 4.3, it would segfault immediately when run. I'm happy to report that Python 2.5b3 compiles and runs fine under AIX 4.3, and passes most of its test suite. However, here are a few test failures. I realize AIX 4.3 is long obsolete, so is there any interest on the list for me to report which tests failed and how?

cgi.FieldStorage DOS (sf bug #1112549)
by Chris McDonough Aug. 7, 2006

Aug. 7, 2006

From the initial bugreport (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=1112549&group_id=5470&atid=105470) """ Various parts of cgi.FieldStorage call its "read_lines_to_outerboundary", "read_lines" and "skip_lines" methods. These methods use the "readline" method of the file object that represents an input stream. The input stream is typically data supplied by an untrusted source (such as a user uploading a file from a web browser). The input data is not required by … [View More]

BZ2File.writelines should raise more meaningful exceptions
by Lawrence Oluyede Aug. 7, 2006

Aug. 7, 2006

In the BZ2File object of bz2 module the writelines() method does not check its closed state before doing the actual work so its behavior it's different from write()'s behavior. See: >>> from bz2 import BZ2File >>> f = BZ2File("foo", "w") >>> f.close() >>> f.closed 1 >>> f.write("foobar") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: I/O operation on closed file >>> f.closed 1 >>> f.… [View More]

test_mailbox on Cygwin
by Andrew MacIntyre Aug. 6, 2006

Aug. 6, 2006

I just had a look at the Cygwin buildbot's test log, and noticed that test_mailbox has failures that look very similar to those I addressed in rev 50789 for the OS/2 EMX platform. Hopefully this might give someone with access to Cygwin a starting point in getting this test working on that platform. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

More tracker demos online
by "Martin v. Löwis" Aug. 5, 2006

Aug. 5, 2006

Currently, we have two running tracker demos online: Roundup: http://efod.se/python-tracker/ Jira: http://jira.python.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa These installation are in various forms of demo mode and "pre-release" (meaning that the configuration is still not complete). They both use the sample data that Fredrik Lundh produced at some point, so don't be surprised that they are behind SF wrt. content. While these might not be in the final form of operation, I think users should … [View More]
