Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment: Not sure why you would prefer an unstable, unreleased hg trunk version to a stable, released one.
And as you've seen, Python 2 and Python 3 are quite different things. As for dl failing on build, you've already stated that it does *not* build, together with bsddb185 and gdbm (for which the library headers are missing). setup.py does exactly that test for 64-bit platforms. Then you activate it explicitly, and complain that it does build... And lastly, all these things are *not* a build failure of Python: missing modules just means that, well, these modules won't be there. And failing tests just means that there *may* be a problem when using the respective module -- but for platform-dependent modules it could just as well mean that your system is configured in a special way. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
