Hi again; My build with the more recent python has gone smoothly. FreeBSDhas been using the system Python 2.7.3 by default for a while. In addition to the general improvements there are also severalimportant enhancements, this version also helps the build onnewer MacOS X and fixes security issues. I will bringing it in either tonight or tomorrow as all our local changeshave been preserved and it won't interfere at all with the new release.

Da: Pedro Giffuni <[email protected]> Oggetto: Bug 119384 : Python update coming after 3.4.1 release A: "ooo-dev" <[email protected]> Data: Mercoledì 25 luglio 2012, 17:20 Hello guys; With some help from Hanya I have been slowly working on an update to our internal Python. The patch is rather big but it is necessary because: - The older 2.6.1 python is basically unsupported upstream. - Newer versions of python have better performance and solve security issues. - The world will be moving at some point to Python 3 and as part of the migration path the Python developers have been adding some compatibility in late 2.6.x and 2.7.x versions. The update takes python to version 2.7.3 which means nothing will break but we can start using some Python 3 features. Unfortunately, due to some brokenness in GNU patch which cannot handle some CRLF changes upstream, we will lose a change to support SSL on the internal python but it doesn't seem critical at this time. I am still running a complete build under FreeBSD and, of course, I have no interest in breaking the tree while everyone is busy rolling 3.4.1 so I will leave the update for after the release. For now I will leave the big patch in BZ i119384 JIC there are brave testers interested. regards, Pedro.
