[Python-Dev] Redirection of ar.pycon.org

2014-12-18 Thread Facundo Batista
Hi! Don't remember where to ask for changing the redirection of that domain name. Somebody knows? I need for the redirection to be to pycon.python.org.ar (and we'll take care of proper year-by-year redirection from there). Thanks! -- .Facundo Blog: http://www.taniquetil.com.ar/plog/

[Python-Dev] libffi embedded in CPython

2014-12-18 Thread Maciej Fijalkowski
After reading this http://bugs.python.org/issue23085 and remembering struggling having our own patches into cpython's libffi (but not into libffi itself), I wonder, is there any reason any more for libffi being included in CPython? Cheers, fijal ___

well, the problem is essentially that libffi gets patched (e.g. for ARM) and it does not make it's way to CPython quickly. This is unlikely to be a security issue (for a variety of reasons, including ctypes), but it's still an issue I think. Segfaults related to e.g. stack alignment are hard to
