I have uploaded an updated port of Python 2.1.1 to the incoming
directories of the Hobbes (http://hobbes.nmsu.edu) and LEO
(http://archiv.leo.org/) OS/2 software archives.
The update contains the following changes:-
- os.spawnv() and os.spawnve() use the native EMX routines rather than
emulate them with fork();
- pythonpm.exe is now a real PM app with behaviour somewhat akin to the
pythonw.exe in the Windows distribution.
The distributed archives are:
python-2.1.1-os2emx-bin-010812.zip (binary installation package, 3.0MB)
python-2.1.1-os2emx-src-010812.zip (source patches and makefiles, 106kB)
For those who already have the 010805 distribution, you only need to get
python-2.1.1-os2emx-upd-010812.zip (250kB)
Note that the update archive has not been uploaded to Hobbes or LEO. It
is available at http://www.andymac.org/python.html, along with the above
archives are if you can't find them at Hobbes or LEO.
OS/2 users enjoy!
