[Python-Dev] BerkeleyDB 4.6.19 is buggy and causes test_bsddb3 to hang

2007-09-10 Thread Gregory P. Smith
BerkeleyDB 4.6.19 is a buggy release, the DB_HASH access method databases can lockup the process. This is why several of the bleeding edge distro buildbots are timing out while running test_bsddb3. I've created a simple C test case and made sleepycat^Woracle aware of the problem. I have a

2007-09-10 Thread Martin v. Löwis
I have a change in my sandbox to explicitly avoid linking with 4.6.19 but it seems like committing it would just pollute setup.py with vague notions of what versions of a specific library are bad. I'd prefer to just disallow use of libdb 4.6 completely in setup.py until oracle fixes this and

Re: [Python-Dev] which SSL client protocols work with which server protocols?

2007-09-10 Thread Bill Janssen
I've now built a framework in test_ssl to test all client protocols (SSL2, SSL3, SSL23, TLS1) against all server protocols, and here's what I've come up with. Servers are along the X axis, and clients are on the Y axis. Yes means that that client protocol can talk to that server protocol.
