Annotations support in python
by Heshan Suriyaarachchi April 4, 2008

April 4, 2008

Hi, I need to work with annotations as it is said in [1]. Currently I am using python 2.5.1. I would like to know whether the next release of python will support this feature. If the next version support this feature I would like to know when are you planning to release it. I used the __future__ module but I could not get the annotations with it.

When you say rebuild, I assume you mean the change I made to the pythoncore project's pre-link step to call kill_python.exe, and not to the post-build step of kill_python that runs itself?

xmlrpclib and dates before 1900
by Ralf Schmitt April 4, 2008

April 4, 2008

Hi all, anyone care to take a look at: http://bugs.python.org/issue2014 It's about xmlrpclib not being able to send datetime objects with dates before 1900. I would like to see this go in and would also like to work on http://bugs.python.org/issue1745722 (xmlrpc wsgi support). But this only makes sense if someone also commits it... Regards, - Ralf

Tools\buildbot\kill_python.c can't be helping our cause
by Trent Nelson April 3, 2008

April 3, 2008

Looking into some of the recent Windows buildbot failures, I see things like this: sqlite3 : error PRJ0008 : Could not delete file 'c:\buildbot\trunk.heller-windows-amd64\build\PCbuild\amd64\sqlite3_d.dll'. build-amd64.bat doesn't go through the kill_python.c hoopla, so I figure the above error is being caused by the fact that an erroneous/stalled python_d.exe from a previous run is still open. I was looking at modifying kill_python.c to accept an 'x64' argument if we want to kill amd64\… [View More]

FW: [issue2513] 64bit cross compilation on windows
by Mark Hammond April 3, 2008

April 3, 2008

FYI, I've uploaded a patch that provides for cross-compilation on Windows between 32 and 64 bit platforms - all comments invited! Thanks, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Mark Hammond [mailto:report@bugs.python.org] Sent: Sunday, 30 March 2008 6:01 PM To: mhammond(a)users.sourceforge.net Subject: [issue2513] 64bit cross compilation on windows New submission from Mark Hammond <mhammond(a)users.sourceforge.net>: I've taken the liberty of adding Trent, Christian and Martin to the … [View More]nosy list as I know they are actively, if reluctantly interested in this. This patch allows the distutils to cross-compile on Windows. It has been tested on x86 and amd64 platforms, with both platforms successfully able to natively and cross-compile extension modules and create binary distributions. To cross-compile, specify '--plat-name' to the build command (valid values are 'win32', 'win-amd64' and 'win-ia64'). This option name was chosen to be consistent with the bdist_dumb command. I've included the docs I added below (which are also in the patch), but note that as with native compilation using distutils, it's not necessary to set any environment variables or do anything else special with your environment to make this work. The patch also adds a x64 target for the 'bdist_wininst' target, which it creates as distutils/command/wininst-9.0-amd64.exe. This executable is necessary even for bdist_wininst to work natively on x64, but is still included here for simplicity. To assist with testing, I've also added a distutils setup.py script to the PC/example_nt directory. This is capable of creating bdist_wininst executables for both native and cross platforms; 'setup.py build --platname=win-amd64 bdist_wininst' will create an amd64 installer on an x86 machine. The patch has not been tested with a Visual Studio environment without cross-compile tools installed - it will obviously fail, but its not clear how ugly this failure will be. Below is the text I added to docs/distutils/builtdist.rst: Cross-compiling on Windows ===================== Starting with Python 2.6, distutils is capable of cross-compiling between Windows platforms. In practice, this means that with the correct tools installed, you can use a 32bit version of Windows to create 64bit extensions and vice-versa. To build for an alternate platform, specify the :option:`--plat-name` option to the build command. Valid values are currently 'win32', 'win-amd64' and 'win-ia64'. For example, on a 32bit version of Windows, you could execute:: python setup.py build --plat-name=win-amd64 to build a 64bit version of your extension. The Windows Installers also support this option, so the command:: python setup.py build --plat-name=win-amd64 bdist_wininst would create a 64bit installation executable on your 32bit version of Windows. Note that by default, Visual Studio 2008 does not install 64bit compilers or tools. You may need to reexecute the Visual Studio setup process and select these tools. ---------- assignee: mhammond components: Distutils files: windows-cross-compile.patch keywords: 64bit, patch messages: 64743 nosy: Trent.Nelson, ctheune, loewis, mhammond severity: normal status: open title: 64bit cross compilation on windows type: feature request versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9900/windows-cross-compile.patch __________________________________ Tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2513> __________________________________ [View Less]
