Re: [Zope] missing FCNTL.py after building Zope 2.3 on Python 1.5.2
I'm not sure exactly how the problem manifests itself in 1.5.2, but
in 1.6 & later, there are a series of platform specific directories:
Lib/plat-{XXX} where XXX is some system, and a Lib/plat-generic/.
That's where the FCNTL and some other files live.
If your system is not among the ones included in the distribution, it
has to build those system dependent files from the regen script in
Lib/plat-generic/.
It should probably be considered a bug of the build/makefile system
that that step does not get done when building Python, but only on
'make install' . If you do a 'make test' before doing 'make install',
and it's your first build on a 'generic' platorm, it will always fail
for those ( FCNTL.py, TERMIOS.py, ... ) files.

This is odd - it actually crashes? The only part of the code that tries to use FCNTL is in the __init__.py of ZServer: try: import fcntl, FCNTL FCNTL.F_SETFD; FCNTL.FD_CLOEXEC def requestCloseOnExec(sock): try:fcntl.fcntl(sock.fileno(), FCNTL.F_SETFD, FCNTL.FD_CLOEXEC) except: pass except (ImportError, AttributeError): def requestCloseOnExec(sock): pass ...and it is specifically designed to fail gracefully if FCNTL support is not available. The fact that you are getting an error message of "no module named FCNTL" makes it _sound_ like an ImportError, which should be caught. Can you send me a copy of the whole traceback (maybe we are somehow getting something other than ImportError)? > Just by the way, recommended trustworthy ways to find out if the Python > installation has been compiled with threads enabled -besides knowing > that it is a plain vanilla RPM install and what that may or may not > imply - ...? Start python from the command line and try: import thread if you get an ImportError, threading is probably not compiled in...
