I just cvsup'd and now get this traceback when executing setup.py (no matter which command I try):

Anyone else seeing this? I'm running on Mandrake 8.1 with Python CVS.
It must be related to the changes in ConfigParser of Python 2.3 compared to earlier Python versions. Note that it may not be safe to just remove this assertion. It really depends what is the output ConfigParser.getboolean. If it is int or bool, then change the assert statement to assert isinstance(self.search_static_first,int) But if it is a string, for example, '0' or '1', then removing the assert statement will lead to incorrect results because self.search_static_first is later used as if self.search_static_first: #do staff 1 else: #do staff 2 and #do staff 1 is executed even if self.search_static_first=='0'. Hmm, the result of ConfigParser.getboolean could be also None... So, could you check what is the type/value of self.search_static_first in your case? Pearu
