Regards, Martin Ah so the setup.py script is flawed. However, the sysconfig object doesn't contain a config_h_vars... So I guess distutils must be patched too? While it probably should be included in distutils.sysconfig, config_h_vars was created later on in setup.py by some code dealing with whether to compile expat. I just moved that up to the top of the funciton so that it can be used sooner. Fixed in rev. 1.217 . Sorry about the bad checking that broke the building of it in the first place. =) -Brett ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I have a vague half-memory of _some_ box that stored the two 4-byte words in an IEEE double in one order, but the bytes within each word in the opposite order. It's always something ... I believe this was the Floating Instruction Set on the PDP 11/35. The fact that it's still remembered 30 years later shows how unusual it was. I think it was actually logical, because all PDP-11s (there were 2 or 3 FPU instructionsets/architecture in the family IIRC) stored 32 bit integers in middle-endian (high-order word first, but low-order byte first). But note that neither of the PDP-11 FPUs were IEEE, that was a much later invention. At least, I didn't come across it until much later:-) -- Jack Jansen, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
