Category: Core (C code) Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jason Tishler (jlt63) Assigned to: Jason Tishler (jlt63) Summary: Cygwin case-sensitive import patch Initial Comment: A problem regarding importing symlinked modules was recently reported on the Cygwin mailing list: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-04/msg00257.html The following test case demonstrates the problem: $ ls -l total 1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 jt None 6 Apr 23 13:32 bar.py -> foo.py -rw-r--r-- 1 jt None 24 Apr 18 20:13 foo.py $ python -c 'import bar' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named bar Since Cygwin's case_ok() uses a modified version of the Windows's version, the symlinked bar module actually resolves to file foo.py instead of bar.py. This obviously causes the matching code to fail (regardless of case). The attached patch fixes this problem. All that it does it make Cygwin use the Mac OS X case_ok() instead of a modified Window's version. Is this OK to apply? Or, would someone like to make sure I didn't break the Windows and Mac builds first? AFAICT, I didn't, but you never know... :,) Additionally, can I apply this patch to the 2.4 maintence branch? If so, is "release24-maint" the correct CVS tag to use? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1197318&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
