Re: [Python-Dev] [issue1056] test_cmd_line starts python without -E
by Thomas Wouters 11 Sep '07

On 9/11/07, Nick Coghlan <report(a)bugs.python.org> wrote: > (Is the head still being merged to the py3k branch? Or does this need to > be forward-ported manually?) No worries, the trunk is still being merged to py3k. I doubt we'll ever stop doing that, unless the trunk becomes py3k and 2.x development is done on a branch (in which case I imagine we'd merge between those two in some way :-) -- Thomas Wouters <thomas(a)python.org> Hi!

testing in a Python --without-threads build
by Bill Janssen 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

I can't seem to run the regression tests in a --without-threads build. Might be interesting to configure a buildbot this way to keep ourselves honest. Bill

which SSL client protocols work with which server protocols?
by Bill Janssen 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

I've now built a framework in test_ssl to test all client protocols (SSL2, SSL3, SSL23, TLS1) against all server protocols, and here's what I've come up with. Servers are along the X axis, and clients are on the Y axis. "Yes" means that that client protocol can talk to that server protocol. SSL2 SSL3 SS23 TLS1 SSL2 yes no no no SSL3 yes yes yes no SSL23 no no yes no TLS1 no no yes yes I'm a bit surprised by the facts that (1) an SSL2 client can't connect to an SSL23 server, and (2) an SSL23 client can *only* connect to an SSL23 server. Can anyone verify that these combos (the results of testing with the Python framework) are indeed to be expected? Bill

Compiling Python 2.5 and settinf UCS2 flag
by Tennessee Leeuwenburg 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hi all, I have an unusual use case in which some software I work on compiles a version of Python for distribution. I'm not 100% across this as it's not at all my area of responsibility, but I have been having some issues lately. My hand-compiled version of Python 2.5 works just fine, and in turn uses a hand-compiled Tcl/Tk with threading disabled. The system then re-compiles Python2.5 for its own purposes. At this point, it appears to ignore some of the options originally set using configure for Python. I have enough knowledge/control over the system to pass in some additional compiler flags. I would like to try to force some behaviour normally set as a flag to the configure script. Is there a C compiler flag I can use to force the use of UCS2 unicode? Thanks, -Tennessee

Alpha/Tru64 buildbot and SSL compile
by Bill Janssen 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

The Alpha/Tru64 buildbot seems to be having difficulty compiling the _ssl.c file. Looks like missing header files. Anyone know what the configuration of OpenSSL on that machine is like? Bill

Email addresses in PEPs?
by skip＠pobox.com 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Is there a policy about putting email addresses in PEPs? I have the names and email addresses of a couple platform maintainers to add to PEP 11. Having the email addresses there would make it handy to contact said maintainers, but I realize people don't always appreciate the extra exposure to spammers. Skip

BerkeleyDB 4.6.19 is buggy and causes test_bsddb3 to hang
by Gregory P. Smith 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

BerkeleyDB 4.6.19 is a buggy release, the DB_HASH access method databases can lockup the process. This is why several of the bleeding edge distro buildbots are timing out while running test_bsddb3. I've created a simple C test case and made sleepycat^Woracle aware of the problem. I have a change in my sandbox to explicitly avoid linking with 4.6.19 but it seems like committing it would just pollute setup.py with vague notions of what versions of a specific library are bad. I'd prefer to just disallow use of libdb 4.6 completely in setup.py until oracle fixes this and we're sure no OS release ships with 4.6.19. thoughts? -gps http://groups.google.com/group/comp.databases.berkeley-db/browse_thread/thr…

summaries not arriving
by Paul Dubois 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

The weekly summaries from the new bug tracker are disappearing somewhere between the tracker and python-dev. My attempt to post one by hand was rejected by python-dev-owner (Barry Warsaw?) without explanation. Perhaps he has bounced the others; emails to python-dev-owner result in an automated message suggesting that my mail may never be read so I don't know how to ask him. As a small boy I once knew wrote, I must not use bad words. (:-> Paul Dubois
