Ctypes bug fix for Solaris - too late for 2.7.3?
I hit a bug in the ctypes package on Solaris yesterday. Investigating, I found there is a patch: http://bugs.python.org/issue5289 I applied it and verified that when run as a main program ctypes/util.py now works. Is it too late to get this into 2.7.3? Given the nature of the patch (a new block of code only matched on Solaris, and the fact that find_library is quite broken now on that platform), it's hard to see how things would be worse after applying it. BTW, this will be a requirement for getting PyPy running on Solaris. (That's the context where i encountered it.) Thanks, Skip

Yes, it's far too late for 2.7.3, since that was released last April. :) I think it could go into 2.7.4, though. -- Regards, Benjamin

Whoops, sorry. I thought I had remembered some recent discussion of an upcoming 2.7 micro. Off-by-one error, or just brain freeze? :-) Skip

The upcoming micro you recall is 2.7.4. The 2.7.3 train left the station already. ;) Tres. - -- =================================================================== Tres Seaver +1 540-429-0999 tseaver@palladion.com Palladion Software "Excellence by Design" http://palladion.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEUEARECAAYFAlEFUVcACgkQ+gerLs4ltQ6X3QCgscrJNOQo2mB5ylS97OYJ7EG/ tKYAl3YvSGLNd9NeZ6AKchreRcjNvYc= =yimz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
