Category: Core (C code) Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Stuart D. Gathman (customdesigned) >Assigned to: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Summary: patches to compile for AIX 4.1.x Initial Comment: Support for AIX 4.1 got lost, or was dropped with python 2.3. The only thing AIX 4.1 needs over generic AIX support is a call to loadbind when loading dynamic modules. This patch also provides stubs for openpty in posixmodule and wgetnstr in cursesmodule. The openpty stub is non-functional. The wgetnstr stub is functional, but uses a fixed size temporary buffer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. L�wis (loewis) Date: 2005-02-10 00:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I don't understand the patch. Why do you provide an implementation of openpty that says it creates a pseudo tty master slave pair, and is implementented by setting errno to ENOENT? The changes to remove loadbind were made in dynload_aix.c 2.12, where Guido applied #568629, which in turn was from Oren Tirosh. It was meant to replace the new module, so I presume the change to dynload_aix was unintentional (but then, it is probably no problem, as nobody noticed during the entire life of Python 2.3). Assigning this to gvanrossum for further comments, and also asking orenti to comment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1119626&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
