Well, after a quick test, it seems that configure doesn't complain if you pass it an unknown option (at least one that begins with '--with'). So we can still use the same options on all branches. (as for the need for it to be a configure option, it was the consensus which emerged after discussion in the tracker entry, both to provide some flexibility and for fear that enabling it by default could trigger some compiler bugs -- although the latter is of course unlikely) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
