Interesting. That looks like it might be a bug in the Python zipimport module, which is what implements get_data(). Apparently it happens upon importing as well; I assumed that it was a bytecode incompatibility. Checking the revision log, I find that there's a 64-bit fix for zipimport.c in Python 2.4 that looks like it would fix this issue, but it has not been backported to any revision of Python 2.3. You're going to either have to backport the fix yourself and rebuild Python 2.3, or upgrade to Python 2.4. Sorry. :( The diff that implements the fix is at: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/python/python/dist/src/Modules/zipimport.c?r1=1.16&r2=1.17 I'll update my documentation pages to reflect that setuptools requires Python 2.4 if you're using a 64-bit Python. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
