[Python-Dev] bug triage

2010-01-06 Thread Chris Withers
Hi All, Is there a high volume of incoming bugs to the Python tracker? If so, I'd like to help with triaging. I think I have all the necessary access, what I'm missing is the knowledge of how to set myself up to get notifications of new bugs... How do I do that? cheers, Chris --

[Python-Dev] --enabled-shared broken on freebsd5?

(This may occur on more platforms - I can test on more unix platforms if the consensus is this is an actual problem and I'm not just a nut) On freebsd5, if you do a simple ./configure --enable-shared in current (2.7) trunk, your python shared library will build properly, but all modules will fail
