All code will be - removed in Python 2.7 unless a maintainer steps forward for this - platform. - - From Octavian Cerna <tavy at ylabs.com>: - - Before building: - - Make sure you have shared versions of the libraries you - want to use with Python. You will have to compile them - yourself, or download precompiled packages. - - Recommended libraries: - - ncurses-4.2 - readline-4.2a - zlib-1.1.4 - - Build: - - $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/python - $ make - - Python is always built as a shared library, otherwise - dynamic loading would not work. - - Testing: - - $ make test - - Install: - - # make install - # pkgmanager -a /usr/python - - - AtheOS issues: - - - large file support: due to a stdio bug in glibc/libio, - access to large files may not work correctly. fseeko() - tries to seek to a negative offset. ftello() returns a - negative offset, it looks like a 32->64bit - sign-extension issue. The lowlevel functions (open, - lseek, etc) are OK. - - sockets: AF_UNIX is defined in the C library and in - Python, but not implemented in the system. - - select: poll is available in the C library, but does not - work (It does not return POLLNVAL for bad fds and - hangs). - - posix: statvfs and fstatvfs always return ENOSYS. - - disabled modules: - - mmap: not yet implemented in AtheOS - - nis: broken (on an unconfigured system - yp_get_default_domain() returns junk instead of - error) - - dl: dynamic loading doesn't work via dlopen() - - resource: getrimit and setrlimit are not yet - implemented - - - if you are getting segmentation faults, you probably are - low on memory. AtheOS doesn't handle very well an - out-of-memory condition and simply SEGVs the process. - - Tested on: - - AtheOS-0.3.7 - gcc-2.95 - binutils-2.10 - make-3.78 +Windows: When executing Python scripts on the command line using file type + associations (i.e. starting "script.py" instead of "python script.py"), + redirects may not work unless you set a specific registry key.
