When building of an extension has failed due to external reasons (e.g. headers from too old version of a Python dependency), user might prefer to be forced to fix these reasons, than to have Python built without an extension. If `make` doesn't fail, user might not notice the problem during building of Python, but some time later during trying to import some modules. Such behavior is also especially desired in distributions (like Gentoo) in which packages are automatically built on users' systems. Maybe the option could be named --enable-strict-building-of-extensions? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6731> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
