Neither. When installing python via the FreeBSD "ports collection", their third-party software repository, HUGE_STACK_SIZE is a configuration menu item that you can select. This advice isn't specific to TurboGears, although it's apparently the most heavily threaded server-side Python application I've installed and it triggered crashes. >> 2) When wondering why it's still crashing with the same errors, >> remember that >> virtualenv copies in the Python binary and that you have to update >> that copy >> as well. > > unless you have 2 versions of python installed this should work, > otherwise it's a bug. virtualenv should pick up whatever python is > returned by "which python" in case you don't want to put it in your > path you can still use. also venv has a handy flag. I only have 1 version of python, but there are two copies of the python executable: k...@lite$ which python /usr/local/bin/python k...@lite$ source /opt/turbogears/bin/activate (turbogears)k...@lite$ which python /opt/turbogears/bin/python Apparently virtualenv copies the python binary into the virtualenv's bin/ directory, and that's what gets used from that point on. The problem I had was that I was reinstalling the system python with new compile options, the copy of python inside the virtualenv wasn't replaced (nor should it have been!). I wouldn't say it was a bug so much as a gotcha that I wanted to warn the next person about. -- Kirk Strauser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
