Bad python 2.5 build on OSX 10.8 mountain lion
As discussed here, the python 2.5 binary distributed by Apple on mountain lion is broken. Could someone file an official complaint? This is really bad... --Guido -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)

I've filed a bug against 10.8 python2.5. The 10.8 versions of Apple's pythons are compile with clang and we did see some sign extension issues with ctypes. The 10.7 version of Apple's python2.5 is compiled with llvm-gcc and handles 2**31 correctly. Unfortunately, AFAIK, only the submitter (i.e. me) can see the bug report (problem id 12411585). I'll report back when I hear something. -- Ned Deily, nad@acm.org

Yes, this looks like http://bugs.python.org/issue11149 . Stefan Krah

Ah, right, thanks. I've updated the Apple issue accordingly. -- Ned Deily, nad@acm.org

Update: the bug I filed has been closed as a duplicate of #11932488 which apparently at the moment is still open. No other information is available. -- Ned Deily, nad@acm.org

Thanks Ned! Is there any way that I could see that bug myself and attach myself to updates? Otherwise, can you keep us here appraised of developments (even if Apple decides not to fix it)? -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)

I don't think there's any way to see any bug other than ones you have submitted yourself. All I can see is that the bug I submitted is closed as a duplicate and now has a Related Problem section that only gives the other incident number and its status (Open). I can't view anything else about that other incident. I don't know if I'll get an email update if its status changes. I'll keep an eye on mine and perhaps ask for a status update if nothing changes in a few weeks. -- Ned Deily, nad@acm.org
Thanks, Ned. Do you think it would be worth it to use our contacts at Apple to raise the priority of this embarrassment? On Saturday, October 6, 2012, Ned Deily wrote:

It might help if anyone wants to try. On the other hand, Python 2.5 is probably not the highest priority for Apple since they also ship Python 2.6 and 2.7 with 10.8, neither of which have this problem. I'll see if I can get an official status update on mine (#12411585). -- Ned Deily nad@acm.org -- []

FYI, today Apple finally released OS X 10.8.3, the next maintenance release of Mountain Lion, and it does include a recompiled version of Python 2.5.6 that appears to solve the sign-extension problem: 2**31-1 is now 2147483647L. -- Ned Deily, nad@acm.org
