Category: Build Group: Python 2.5 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jeff Epler (jepler) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Automatically build fpectl module from setup.py Initial Comment: Setup.py doesn't try to build the fpectl module. This patch changes that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2005-04-27 10:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Well, as you submitted the bug report, you can do that yourself! But as a special treat, I'll close this one for you <wink>. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Epler (jepler) Date: 2005-04-26 17:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2772 given these responses I think the bug should be closed/wontfix or closed/invalid. No, the module wasn't useful to me---some python-list poster wanted it, and I didn't look around to find out why it wasn't building before filing this patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2005-04-19 16:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 NEWS for 2.3a1 said: """ - The fpectl module is not built by default; it's dangerous or useless except in the hands of experts. """ Nobody tries to keep it up to date either, and its primary author said he doesn't think it's used anymore in his institution (or something close to that). I don't think anyone officially deprecated it, though (nobody touches it, not even for that <wink>). It shouldn't be built by default, anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2005-04-19 15:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 I have to say, I thought that we were hoping people would forget about the fpectl module. Is it actually useful? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1185529&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
