Recently, someone on dclpy posted about an error he got when he tried to unpack the Python distribution tarball with Sparc Solaris 9's tar: tar: directory checksum error With GNU tar, it worked correctly. Is this a known issue, or is it irrelevant? Reinhold -- Mail address is perfectly valid!

Re: [Python-Dev] Sharing between multiple interpreters and restricted mode

2006-01-04 Thread Guido van Rossum
This is more a question for c.l.py. My own suggestion is to go back to a single shared interpreter; what's the value of separate interpreters if you're sharing objects anyway? Sharing Python code between interpreters is definitely not supported. If you insist on separate interpreters, an alternativ

I'd say go right ahead and submit a change to SF (and then after it's reviewed you can check it in yourself :-). The only reason I can think of why this isn't done yet would be that nobody thought of it. Of course there are other ill-advised combinations, like write followed by read for which std

Twice now, I've been bitten by the 'mixing file-iteration with readline' issue. (Yeah, twice.. Good thing I don't write anything important in Python ;) I've also seen a number of newbies bitten by the same thing. The issue, for those that aren't aware, is that when mixing file-iteration and readli
