[Pythonmac-SIG] Jaguar and CVS Python

[Alexandre Parenteau]

Jack and friends,

I wonder how many of you guys played with Jaguar (OSX 10.2). It is also my
first glance at gcc 3.1 that comes with 10.2. Everything was fine for
building Python, except for waste which has an obsolete libWaste.a (even in
August 1st Waste 2.1b1) which won't compile with gcc3.1. After I recompiled
waste with CodeWarrior 8.2 (MPTP: early access), it came OK.

I then run into some problems of checked out files because I'm using MacCvs
(see earlier message). I used the 'make frameworkinstall' scheme.

Now I'm experiencing the nice new architecture. I mostly use python from the
command line to invoke CodeWarrior thru AppleScripts, so I almost immeditly
run into a hanging problems of python :

        _err = AESend(&_self->ob_itself,
                      &reply,
                      sendMode,
                      sendPriority,
                      timeOutInTicks,
                      0L/*upp_AEIdleProc*/,
                      (AEFilterUPP)0);

I had to comment out upp_AEIdleProc (I tried several things, but that is the
only thing which helped). Jack, you might want to remember this one if the
problem is still in Jaguar. It hangs and finally times out. I've looked
inside this function and I can see the signal handling, but I'm not sure
what it is for.

I didn't test on 10.1.3: but it could be the same. Well I'm lost... So It
works for me now !

Thanks for all this nice new stuff.

Alex.
