New submission from Ralf Schmitt: The configure script uses a runtime check to determine if IPv6 is working. If IPv6 is disabled system-wide via a kernel option on linux, the resulting python interpreter is compiled as if "--disable-ipv6" had been passed to the configure script.
This causes multiple issues: - http://bugs.python.org/issue7735 - http://bugs.python.org/issue16208 Both of the above issues have been closed as wontfix, and I have been told to not use --disable-ipv6 and instead disable IPv6 system wide via a boot option. This is what I did, and now I have the same issue because the configure script has this runtime check... ---------- messages: 178762 nosy: schmir priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: configure script disables support for IPv6 on a system where IPv6 is disabled type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16836> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
