Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: This development issues tracker is for issues that might result in changes in future Python releases. This issue was properly closed and in the absence of a new proposal for future change, should have stayed closed, even with the addition of a comment.
The only-half removal of the cmp family in 3.0 was an error. For better or for worse, and after much discussion, the developers decided to fix the error immediately in 3.0.1 in order to prevent more error-dependent portings that would need further fix in 3.1. In other words, better a little pain now than more pain in the future. What you do with your installation is up to you. If adding a line works for you as a temporary measure, great. Or help the SWIG folks to finish the port to Python 3 as intended and as it is in 3.0.1 and will be in the future. Further current-release usage questions should be directed to the python-list (or c.l.p or the gmane mirror) or other forums. PS. Your original post would have been more readable with the long error log severely snipped to just show the essential point. ---------- nosy: +tjreedy status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5431> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
